During the last centuries, area covered by urban landscapes is increasing all over world. Urbanization can change local habitats and decrease connectivity among these habitats, with important consequences for species interactions. While several studies have found a major imprint of urbanization on plant-insect interactions, effects seed predation remain largely unexplored.

The aim of this thesis is to understand the ecological and evolutionary implications urbanization across multiple life stages in túngara frog. Throughout thesis, I sought investigate changes phenotypes selection pressures response (Figure 1). Specifically, better relationship sexual signals urban pressures, comprehensively characterize effects on many species (Chapter 2). In Chapter 3, look explicitly at direct two important sensory pollutants environments, artificial light night (ALAN) noise pollution, male breeding behavior. exposed forest sites, naïve conditions, ALAN, their combination. investigated patterns attraction repulsion, timing behavior, calling behavior males these various conditions. 4, continued examining isolated combined ALAN now quantifying potential via receiver behaviors. broadcast synthesized playbacks simulating quantified number approaches from mates (female frogs), predators (fringe-lipped bats) under different Additionally, examined if conditions altered preferences both females bats a field setting. 5, development tadpoles, utilizing reciprocal transplant experiment between populations examine intraand intergenerational early developmental stages. 6, provide an overview synthesis my research.

ABSTRACT Studies have reported the important role of soil properties in regulating insect herbivory under controlled conditions or at relatively large scales. However, whether fine‐scale variation affects natural forests is still unclear. We selected a ca. 300 ha Quercus variabilis forest area where leaf damage was mainly caused by Lampronadata cristata (Lepidoptera: Notodontidae) and set 200 10 × m plots within area. examined (percent damaged) on Q. correlated it to tree characteristics. Insect decreased with sand percentage bulk density increased DBH height. Effects were partly mediated Our results indicated that physical may significant effects directly influencing herbivores need complete their life cycle soil, indirectly affecting through height which reflects total biomass available herbivore. This study help understand complex relationship between plant–insect interactions ecosystems.
