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

The environmental transformations associated with cities are expected to affect organisms at
the demographic, phenotypic, and evolutionary level, often negatively. The prompt detection …

Urbanization, despite its destructive effects on natural habitats, offers species an opportunity
to colonize novel niches. Previous research found that urban Anolis lizards in Puerto Rico …

Little is known about the synergistic impacts of urbanization and hurricanes on
synanthropes. We compared morphological traits of the lizard Anolis cristatellus on Puerto …

Background Ecomorphological studies of lizards have increasingly employed comparison of
claw morphology among species in relation to spatial niche use. Typically, such studies …

Claws, as nature's multifaceted instruments, play fundamental roles across the animal
kingdom, aiding in prey capture and enabling movement across diverse terrains. Claw …

Understanding how morphology affects performance in novel environments and how
populations shift their morphology in response to environmental selective pressures is …

Limited spatial separation within small islands suggests that observed population
divergence may occur due to habitat differences without interruption to gene flow but strong …

Urban evolutionary ecology is inherently interdisciplinary. Moreover, it is a field with global
significance. However, bringing researchers and resources together across fields and …

There are well documented differences in species diversity along urban-rural gradients, but
the effects of urbanization on diversity within species are less well known. Nevertheless …
