Urbanisation is one of the main anthropogenic forms land cover affecting ever-increasing number wild animals and their habitats. Physiological plasticity represents an important process through which can adjust to novel conditions environments. Relying on analysis gene expression, it possible identify molecular responses habitat infer environmental factors that affect organismal physiology. We have quantified for first time blood transcriptome common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus) nestlings living in urban sites compared inhabiting rural natural found mild differences expression genes among sites, indicating adaptability or acclimation birds habitat. identified 58 differentially expressed between kestrels, 12 kestrels. The most striking involved inflammatory-immunological, metabolic, apoptosis, DNA repair development genes. In particular, we (i) had higher linked inflammation, damage, apoptosis than nestlings, (ii) activation immune cells, type I interferon response, major histocompatibility complex nestlings. Finally, KEGG enrichment insulin signalling as pathway differed This a limited studies vertebrates revealed habitat-associated transcriptome. It paves way further in-depth links physiological variation structure at different spatial temporal scales.

Urbanisation poses a profound threat to biodiversity, leading the loss of natural ecosystems and changes in animal communities. Many species birds prey are increasingly associated with urban habitats even when they have low reproductive success. However, it is unclear if this poor performance due worse environmental conditions cities or poorer quality nesting sites. Addressing effects habitat on reproduction under similar (nest-boxes same size material) therefore important we were test direct effect cavity-nesting raptors. To address question, compared life-history traits, metrics success, morphological traits chicks common kestrels (Falco tinnunculus) breeding artificial nest boxes city Rome, nearby rural environments over period five years. We found that laid significantly earlier (10 days average) than habitat. also novel evidence had shorter wings raised (1.2 cm average). By contrast, did not detect any differences clutch size, brood at fledging, egg volume, hatching fledging body mass, tarsus length, condition among habitats. Our findings suggest that, despite phenology, performances across different types. This result contrast previous studies carried out other European cities, indicating some might be optimal for sustaining viable bird populations.

Abstract Conventional physiological research has focused on elucidating the endogenous mechanisms that underly adaptations of species to life in extreme habitats, such as polar regions or deserts. In this review article, we argue even habitats are not considered extremes facing unpredictable, rapid, and strong modifications due human activities expose animals novel conditions. Thus, these can offer insight role plasticity driving their resilience adaptation. To end, discuss how stress physiology (with a particular focus oxidative stress) central mediating interaction between exposome (measure all environmental exposures an individual lifetime) cellular processes (bio‐exposome) contexts relevant anthropogenic changes habitat We also provide concrete examples relationship bio‐exposome free‐living animals, be health. Finally, propose future directions integrating One Health framework achieve holistic understanding proximate underlying responses changes.
