Biologists have long debated the role of behavior in evolution, yet understanding of its role
as a driver of adaptation is hampered by the scarcity of experimental studies of natural …

Novel selective pressures derived from human activities challenge the persistence of animal
populations worldwide. Behavior is expected to be a major factor driving animals' responses …

A better understanding of context in decision-making—that is, the internal and external
conditions that modulate decisions—is required to help bridge the gap between natural …

Foraging decisions reflect a trade-off between the benefits of acquiring food and the costs of
movement. Changes in the biotic and abiotic environment associated with urbanization can …

Habitat loss undeniably poses a substantial threat to biodiversity, but whether fragmentation
per se drives the loss of species is still widely debated. While negative consequences from …

Growth and body size are influenced by the environment and each have consequences for
reproduction and, thus, fitness. Anthropogenically altered habitats (ie cities) create novel …

Behavioral adjustments may allow organisms to cope with the drastic environmental change
caused by urbanization. We compared the escape behavior of Anolis lizards during …
