Abstract In the past decade, studies have demonstrated that urban and nonurban wildlife populations exhibit differences in foraging behavior diet. However, little is known about how environmental heterogeneity shapes dietary variation of organisms within cities. We examined vertebrate prey components diets coyotes ( Canis latrans ) San Francisco to quantify territory‐ individual‐level determine within‐city land cover use affects coyote genotyped fecal samples for individual identification used DNA metabarcoding diet composition niche differentiation. The highest contributor overall was anthropogenic food followed by small mammals. most frequently detected species were domestic chicken, pocket gopher Thomomys bottae ), pig, raccoon Procyon lotor ). Diet varied significantly across territories among individuals, with explaining variation. Within (i.e., family groups), amount attributed among‐individual increased green space decreased impervious surface cover. quantity scats also positively correlated cover, suggesting consumed more human urbanized territories. invasive, human‐commensal rodents number services a territory. Overall, our results revealed substantial intraspecific associated landscape point diversifying effect urbanization on population

Abstract Urbanization is changing Earth's ecosystems by altering the interactions and feedbacks between fundamental ecological evolutionary processes that maintain life. Humans in cities alter eco-evolutionary play simultaneously both actors stage on which takes place. modifies land surfaces, microclimates, habitat connectivity, networks, food webs, species diversity, composition. These environmental changes can lead to phenotypic, genetic, cultural makeup of wild populations have important consequences for ecosystem function essential services nature provides human society, such as nutrient cycling, pollination, seed dispersal, production, water air purification. Understanding monitoring urbanization-induced inform strategies achieve sustainability. In present article, we propose understanding these dynamics requires rigorous characterization urbanizing regions rapidly evolving, tightly coupled human–natural systems. We explore how emergent properties urbanization affect across space time. identify five key urban drivers change—habitat modification, heterogeneity, novel disturbances, biotic interactions—and highlight direct urbanization-driven change nature's contributions people. Then, emerging complexities—landscape complexity, discontinuities, socio-ecological cross-scale interactions, legacies time lags—that need be tackled future research. evolving metacommunity concept a powerful framework study dynamics.

Urbanization is quickly changing natural and agricultural landscapes, with consequences for the herbivorous arthropods dwelling in or near cities. Here, we review evidence effects of urbanization on ecology evolution plant-herbivore interactions. We first summarize how abiotic factors associated affect arthropods. Next, explore affects interactions, by considering urban environments may disrupt top-down bottom-up ecological processes that herbivory. Abiotic changes environment, such as heat island effect, have caused shifts phenology some Other areas, including water availability, pollution, habitat fragmentation, resulted to physiology, behavior, population abundance. Native species richness tends decline however, abundance appear be specific. These suggest could both adaptive non-adaptive their host plants environments.

Abstract Rapid urbanization and the global loss of biodiversity necessitate development a research agenda that addresses knowledge gaps in urban ecology will inform policy, management, conservation. To advance this goal, we present six topics to pursue research: socioeconomic social–ecological drivers versus gain biodiversity; response technological change; biodiversity–ecosystem service relationships; areas as refugia for spatiotemporal dynamics species, community changes, underlying processes; ecological networks. We discuss overarching considerations offer set questions inspire support research. In parallel, advocate communication collaboration across many fields disciplines order build capacity research, education, practice. Taken together note play an important role addressing extinction crisis.

Urbanisation is increasing worldwide, and there now ample evidence of phenotypic changes in wild organisms response to this novel environment. Yet, the genetic genomic architecture underlying these adaptations are poorly understood. Here, we genotype 192 great tits (Parus major) from nine European cities, each paired with an adjacent rural site, address major knowledge gap our understanding wildlife urban adaptation. We find that a combination polygenic allele frequency shifts recurrent selective sweeps associated adaptation environments. While haplotypes under selection rarely shared across populations, occur within same genes, mostly linked neural function development. Collectively, show widespread songbird occurs through unique core-set behaviour-linked genes.

Although research performed in cities will not uncover new evolutionary mechanisms, it could provide unprecedented opportunities to examine the interplay of forces ways and avenues address classic questions. However, while variation within among affords many advance biology research, careful alignment between how are used questions being asked is necessary maximize insights that can be gained. In this review, we develop a framework help guide urban evolution approaches Using framework, highlight what has been accomplished date field identify several up-and-coming directions for further expansion. We conclude environments as test beds tackle both long-standing biology.
