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 …

The world is urbanising rapidly, and it is predicted that by 2050, 66% of the global human
population will be living in urban areas. Urbanisation is characterised by land-use changes …

As urban areas expand, understanding how ecological processes function in cities has
become increasingly important for conserving biodiversity. Urban green spaces are critical …

Remotely-sensed and bottom-up survey information were compiled on eight variables
measuring the direct and indirect human pressures on the environment globally in 1993 and …

Cities are both embedded within and ecologically linked to their surrounding landscapes.
Although urbanization poses a substantial threat to biodiversity, cities also support many …

As human density increases, biodiversity must increasingly co-exist with urbanization or face
local extinction. Tolerance of urban areas has been linked to numerous functional traits, yet …

Human pressure map** is important for understanding humanity's role in sha** Earth's
patterns and processes. Our ability to map this influence has evolved, thanks to powerful …

Urbanisation exposes wildlife to new challenging conditions and environmental pressures.
Some mammalian species have adapted to these novel environments, but it remains …

While human-induced rapid environmental changes are putting many organisms at risk of
extinction, others are doing better than ever. This raises the question of why organisms differ …

Domestic gardens provide a significant component of urban green infrastructure but their
relative contribution to eco-system service provision remains largely un-quantified.'Green …
