New Lit Alert: Coping with novelty across an urban mosaic: Provisioning latency increases closer to roads and is associated with species-specific reproductive success in two urban adapters

Coping with novelty across an urban mosaic: Provisioning latency increases closer to roads and is associated with species-specific reproductive success in two urban adapters Michela Corsini, Pietro Leanza, Amanda D. Rodewald, Joanna Sudyka, André A.Dhondt, and Marta Szulkin Abstract Most research on urban avian ecology has focused on population- and community-level phenomena, whereas fewer studies have examined how...

New Lit Alert: Recent spread of blue tits into the Barcelona urban environment: morphological differences and the role of balanced dispersal

Recent spread of blue tits into the Barcelona urban environment: morphological differences and the role of balanced dispersal Juan Carlos Senar & Mats Björklund Abstract Rates of phenotypic change are greater in cities than in any other habitat. Consequently, urban habitats are an ideal experimental area to study contemporary evolution and adaptation. A key question... Continue Reading →

Urbanisation Exposes Birds to Metal Pollution

Parallel, urban-driven phenotypic changes There is increasing evidence that, for a given species, individuals inhabiting cities often differ from their counterparts outside of cities. Such differences may result from individuals suffering from environmental conditions in cities. For instance, my colleague Michela Corsini showed that, in the great tit (Parus major) and the blue tit (Cyanistes caeruleus),... Continue Reading →
