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 …

The concept of a pace‐of‐life syndrome describes inter‐and intraspecific variation in several
life‐history traits along a slow‐to‐fast pace‐of‐life continuum, with long lifespans, low …

The pace-of-life syndrome hypothesis predicts that individual differences in behavior should
integrate with morphological, physiological, and life-history traits along a slow to fast pace-of …

Urbanization can have marked effects on plant and animal populations' phenology,
population size, predator–prey, interactions and reproductive success. These aspects are …

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 …

Urban green spaces (UGS) often support diverse bird assemblages. Current evidence
suggests large UGS that are circular in shape and contain abundant tree canopy cover will …

Urban areas represent a spectrum that goes from being safe habitats for biodiversity (ie,
habitats more or equally preferred, without costs to fitness) to being ecological traps (ie …

The human population is rapidly urbanizing, and the negative impacts of urban cover on
biodiversity and ecosystem function are expected to increase. Trophic dynamics have been …

Urbanization is a growing concern challenging the evolutionary potential of wild populations
by reducing genetic diversity and imposing new selection regimes affecting many key fitness …
