Humans have drastically changed environmental conditions on Earth, particularly since the invention of agriculture during the Neolithic Revolution. The footprint of human activity is most pronounced in urban environments, where microclimatic conditions, biogeochemical cycles and sensory landscapes are considerably different from those in non-urban habitats (Grimm et al., 2008). Perhaps not surprisingly, multiple shifts in animal and plant phenotypes have been associated with the novel conditions and selective
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
