Abstract Urbanisation is occurring globally, leading to dramatic environmental changes that are altering the ecology and evolution of species. In particular, expansion human infrastructure loss fragmentation natural habitats in cities predicted increase genetic drift reduce gene flow by reducing size connectivity populations. Alternatively, ‘urban facilitation model’ suggests some species will have greater into within higher diversity lower differentiation urban These alternative hypotheses...
Increasing urbanization offers a unique opportunity to study adaptive responses rapid environmental change. Numerous studies have demonstrated phenotypic divergence between urban and rural organisms. However, comparing the direction magnitude of natural selection these environments has rarely been attempted. Using seven years monitoring great tits ( Parus major ) breeding in nest-boxes across city Montpellier nearby oak forest, we find four morphological two life-history traits forest birds....
Abstract Identifying the molecular mechanisms involved in rapid adaptation to novel environments and determining their predictability are central questions evolutionary biology pressing issues due global changes. Complementary genetic responses selection, faster epigenetic variations such as modifications of DNA methylation may play a substantial role adaptation. In context rampant urbanization, joint examinations genomic epigenomic still lacking. Here, we investigated (SNP) (CpG...
Urbanisation is a world-wide phenomenon converting natural habitats into new artificial ones. Environmental conditions associated with urbanisation represent great challenges for wildlife. Behaviour and stress tolerance are considered of major importance in the adaptation to novel urban numerous studies already reported behavioural response phenotypes urbanisation, often suggesting they represented adaptations, while rarely demonstrating it. The main goal this study was test adaptive nature...
Rapid adaptation during invasion has historically been considered limited and unpredictable. We leverage whole-genome sequencing of >2600 plants across six continents to investigate the relative roles colonization history worldwide Trifolium repens. Introduced populations contain high levels genetic variation with independent histories evident on different continents. Five large structural variants three chromosomes exist as standing within native range, exhibit strong signatures parallel...
Abstract Urbanization is one of the most striking examples anthropogenic disturbance dramatically altering ecosystems and evolutionary processes. In particular, natural selection genetic drift are expected to be affected by drastic changes in urban environmental conditions landscape fragmentation. Whether strength increases or decreases cities remains elucidated, especially since it profoundly dependent on drift. Using a previously published genomic dataset 3 replicated pairs rural...
Urbanization is a worldwide phenomenon that modifies the environment. By affecting reservoirs of pathogens and body immune conditions hosts, urbanization alters epidemiological dynamics diversity diseases. Cities could act as areas pathogen dilution or amplification, depending on whether urban features have positive negative effects vectors hosts. In this study, we focused host species investigated prevalence avian malaria parasites (Plasmodium/Haemoproteus sp. Leucocytozoon sp.) in great...

Summary Due to their limited ranges and inherent isolation, island species have long been recognized as crucial systems for tackling a range of evolutionary questions, including in the early study speciation [1,2]. Such less studied understanding forces driving DNA sequence evolution. Island usually lower census population sizes ( N ) than continental and, supposedly, effective Ne ). Given that both rates change caused by genetic drift selection are dependent upon , theoretically expected...
