Behavioural innovations have become central to our thinking about how animals adjust to
changing environments. It is now well established that animals vary in their ability to …

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

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 …

Human‐altered environmental conditions affect many species at the global scale. An
extreme form of anthropogenic alteration is the existence and rapid increase of urban areas …

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 …

Adaptation to urban habitats presumably requires changes in cognitive, behavioral, and
physiological traits enabling individuals to exploit new resources. It is predicted that …

Animals often exhibit consistent-individual differences (CIDs) in boldness/fearfulness,
typically studied in the context of predation risk. We focus here on fear generalization, where …

Animals living in urbanized habitats often show reduced fear responses to humans
compared with their rural conspecifics. This is usually assumed to be the result of …

Urbanization poses a major threat to biodiversity worldwide. We focused on birds as a well-
studied taxon of interest, in order to review literature on traits that influence responses to …

A fundamental focus of current ecological and evolutionary research is to illuminate the
drivers of animals' success in co** with human‐induced rapid environmental change …
