Genetic Adaptation in New York City Rats

2020-02-08

Abstract excerpt

Brown rats ( Rattus norvegicus ) thrive in urban environments by navigating the anthropocentric environment and taking advantage of human resources and by-products. From the human perspective, rats are a chronic problem that causes billions of dollars in damage to agriculture, health and infrastructure. Did genetic adaptation play a role in the spread of rats in cities? To approach this question, we collected who...
