Plasticity-led evolution is central to evolutionary theory. Although challenging to study in
nature, this process may be particularly apparent in novel environments such as cities. We …

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 …

In the past decade, numerous studies have explored how urbanisation affects the mean
phenotypes of populations, but it remains unknown how urbanisation impacts phenotypic …

Although research performed in cities will not uncover new evolutionary mechanisms, it
could provide unprecedented opportunities to examine the interplay of evolutionary forces in …

Research on the evolutionary ecology of urban areas reveals how human-induced
evolutionary changes affect biodiversity and essential ecosystem services. In a rapidly …

Interpreting sound gives powerful insight into the health of ecosystems. Beyond detecting
the presence of wildlife, bioacoustic signals can reveal their behavior. However, behavioral …

We explore how integrating behavioural ecology and macroecology can provide
fundamental new insight into both fields, with particular relevance for understanding …

Eavesdrop** predators, parasites and parasitoids exploit signals emitted by their prey and
hosts for detection, assessment, localization and attack, and in the process impose strong …

Urbanisation can affect mating opportunities and thereby alter inter‐and intra‐sexual
selection pressures on sexual traits. Biotic and abiotic urban conditions can influence an …

Human activities by altering environmental conditions are influencing the mate choice of
animals. This is by impacts on:(i) the production and expression of traits evaluated by mate …
