Climate change and urbanization are two of the most prominent global drivers of biodiversity
and ecosystem change. Fully understanding, predicting and mitigating the biological …

Urban expansion across the globe profoundly impacts local biodiversity. The growing body
of urban ecology research on animals has largely focused on mammals and birds, whereas …

With more people now living in urban areas than outside of them, urbanism is becoming an
increasingly important socioeconomic and ecological arena for our species in the twenty-first …

The contribution of pre-existing phenotypic variation to evolution in novel environments has
long been appreciated. Nevertheless, evolutionary ecologists have struggled with …

Urbanization is one of the most significant contributors to the Anthropocene, and urban
evolutionary ecology has become an important field of research. While it is commonly …

Urbanisation is accompanied by major environmental changes that impact the structure and
functioning of communities and ecosystems, bringing new selective regimes for animal …

Although spiders are one of the most diverse groups of arthropods, the genetic architecture
of their evolutionary adaptations is largely unknown. Specifically, ancient genome-wide …

Phenotypic differences between urban and rural populations are well‐documented, but the
evolutionary processes driving trait variation along urbanization gradients are often unclear …

Cities are ubiquitous and, though a novel phenomenon by evolutionary standards, provide a
home for many species and exert particularly strong and novel selection pressures on them …

The sustained expansion of urban environments has been paralleled by an increase in the
number of studies investigating the phenotypic changes of animals driven by urbanization …
