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 …

While urban expansion increasingly encroaches on natural habitats, many wildlife species
capitalize on anthropogenic food resources, which have the potential to both positively and …

Animal foraging and competition are defined by the partitioning of three primary niche axes:
space, time, and resources. Human disturbance is rapidly altering the spatial and temporal …

The altered ecological and environmental conditions in towns and cities strongly affect
demographic traits of urban animal populations, for example avian reproductive success is …

Over the last century, humans have modified landscapes, generated pollution and provided
opportunities for exotic species to invade areas where they did not evolve. In addition …

Urban environments are unique because fragments of natural or semi-natural habitat are
embedded within a potentially permeable matrix of human-dominated areas, creating …

Generalist species able to exploit anthropogenic food sources are becoming increasingly
common in urban environments. Coyotes (Canis latrans) are one such urban generalist that …

Stressors associated with urban habitats have been linked to poor wildlife health but
whether a general negative relationship between urbanization and animal health can be …

In urban areas with a high level of human disturbance, wildlife has to adjust its behavior to
deal with the so called “landscape of fear.” This can be studied in risk perception during …

Humans have altered up to half of the world's land surface. Wildlife living within or close to
these human-modified landscapes are presented with opportunities and risks associated …
