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 …

The northern house mosquito Culex pipiens sensu stricto is one of the most important
disease vector mosquitoes in temperate zones across the northern hemisphere, responsible …

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

Although research performed in cities will not uncover new evolutionary mechanisms, it
could provide unprecedented opportunities to examine the interplay of evolutionary forces in …

Phenotypic plasticity enables a single genotype to produce multiple phenotypes in response
to environmental variation. Plasticity may play a critical role in the colonization of novel …

Addressing the ongoing biodiversity crisis requires identifying the winners and losers of
global change. Species are often categorized based on how they respond to habitat loss; for …

The audiovisual experience of observing birds in cities provides numerous benefits to
residents, but their diversity is endangered by urbanization. Although the magnitude of the …

Urbanization is gaining force globally, which challenges biodiversity, and it has recently also
emerged as an agent of evolutionary change. Seasonal phenology and life cycle regulation …

Climate change and urbanisation are among the most pervasive and rapidly growing threats
to biodiversity worldwide. However, their impacts are usually considered in isolation, and …

Eavesdropping predators, parasites and parasitoids exploit signals emitted by their prey and
hosts for detection, assessment, localization and attack, and in the process impose strong …
