Phylogenetic patterns are not proxies of community assembly mechanisms (they are far better)
The subdiscipline of 'community phylogenetics' is rapidly growing and influencing thinking
regarding community assembly. In particular, phylogenetic dispersion of co‐occurring …

Behavioral plasticity can facilitate evolution in urban environments
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 …
