Harnessing plant-microbiome interactions for bioremediation across a freshwater urbanization gradient
Urbanization impacts land, air, and water, creating environmental gradients between cities
and rural areas. Urban stormwater delivers myriad co-occurring, understudied, and mostly …

Evolutionary consequences of microbiomes for hosts: impacts on host fitness, traits, and heritability
An organism's phenotypes and fitness often depend on the interactive effects of its genome
(G h o s t), microbiome (G m i c r o b e), and environment (E). These G× G, G× …

Big cities, big bodies: urbanisation correlates with large body sizes and enhanced body condition in African dwarf chameleons (Genus: Bradypodion)
Urbanisation is a major driver of habitat transformation that alters the environmental
conditions and selective regimes of the habitats where it occurs. For species inhabiting …
