Urbanization and its effects on personality traits: a result of microevolution or phenotypic plasticity?

Global change biology - 1 Sept 2013

Miranda Ana Catarina, Schielzeth Holger, Sonntag Tanja, Partecke Jesko

Abstract excerpt

Human-altered environmental conditions affect many species at the global scale. An extreme form of anthropogenic alteration is the existence and rapid increase of urban areas. A key question, then, is how species cope with urbanization. It has been suggested that rural and urban conspecifics show differences in behaviour and personality. However, (i) a generalization of this phenomenon has never been made; and...
