Current narratives suggest that urban adaptation–the adaptive evolution of organisms to
cities–is pervasive across taxa and cities. However, in reviewing hundreds of studies, we …

Abstract Ants (Hymenoptera: Formicidae) are a conspicuous group of ectotherms whose
behavior, distribution, physiology, and fitness are regulated by temperature. Consequently …

Phenotypic plasticity enables a single genotype to produce multiple phenotypes in response
to environmental variation. Plasticity may play a critical role in the colonization of novel …

Urban watersheds can play a critical role in supporting biodiversity and ecosystem services
in a rapidly changing world. However, managing for multiple environmental and social …

Thermal ecology and mate competition are both pervasive features of ecological adaptation.
A surge of recent work has uncovered the diversity of ways in which temperature affects …

Urban environments are the fastest growing ecosystems on Earth. Ants are among the most
abundant arthropod taxa in urban ecosystems and provide important ecosystem services …

The number and diversity of phenological studies has increased rapidly in recent years.
Innovative experiments, field studies, citizen science projects, and analyses of newly …

Urban-driven evolution is widely evident, but whether these changes confer fitness benefits
and thus represent adaptive urban evolution is less clear. We performed a multiyear field …

The Mediterranean fruit fly (medfly), Ceratitis capitata (Wiedemann), one of the most
important invasive pests of fresh fruits and vegetables from the coastal Mediterranean …

Urbanization represents a fierce driver of phenotypic change, yet the molecular mechanisms
underlying observed phenotypic patterns are poorly understood. Epigenetic changes are …
