city life

Open Archive Day

I'm interested in cities, ecology and evolution, so a feature on urban ecology and evolution had to happen at some point, and it did materialise a year ago. Obviously, apart from the interest and enthusiasm, I also need some scientific results to fill the pages, and, particularly for the evolution part of the topic these have improved in recent years, so it is a growing and emerging field at least on that side.

My feature on life in the cities is in the open archives now:


Adapting to life in the city
