Evolutionary Forces in Urban Landscapes

This work explores the evolutionary dynamics within urban landscapes, emphasizing factors like persecution, pollution, and isolation. It examines how these urban environments influence species interactions, including both inter-specific and intra-specific competition. The research delves into eco-evolutionary feedbacks and identifies the impacts of human-driven variables on genotype frequencies and species assemblages in cities, particularly in New York City. By integrating ecological concepts with urban adaptation, this study provides a nuanced understanding of urban evolutionary systems.
