Evolution of thermal tolerance and its fitness consequences: parallel and non-parallel responses to urban heat islands across three cities
2018
Proceedings of the Royal Society of London. Biological Sciences
The question of parallel evolution-what causes it, and how common it is-has long captured the interest of evolutionary biologists. Widespread urban development over the last century has driven rapid evolutionary responses on contemporary time scales, presenting a unique opportunity to test the predictability and parallelism of evolutionary change. Here we examine urban evolution in an acorn-dwelling ant species, focusing on the urban heat island signal and the ant's tolerance of these altered
