Abstract

Although research performed in cities will not uncover new evolutionary mechanisms, it could provide unprecedented opportunities to examine the interplay of evolutionary forces in new ways and new avenues to address classic questions. However, while the variation within and among cities affords many opportunities to advance evolutionary biology research, careful alignment between how cities are used and the research questions being asked is necessary to maximize the insights that can be gained. In this review, we develop a framework to help guide alignment between urban evolution research approaches and questions. Using this framework, we highlight what has been accomplished to date in the field of urban evolution and identify several up-and-coming research directions for further expansion. We conclude that urban environments can be used as evolutionary test beds to tackle both new and long-standing questions in evolutionary biology. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics, Volume 52 is November 2021.

城市的进化

虽然在城市中进行的研究不会揭示新的进化机制，但它可以提供前所未有的机会，以新的方式和新的途径来研究进化力量的相互作用，以解决经典问题。然而，尽管城市内部和城市之间的差异为推进进化生物学研究提供了许多机会，但城市的使用方式和研究问题之间的仔细协调对于最大限度地获得可以获得的见解是必要的。在这篇综述中，我们开发了一个框架来帮助指导城市演变研究方法和问题之间的一致性。利用这一框架，我们强调了迄今为止在城市演变领域所取得的成就，并确定了几个未来的研究方向，以进一步扩展。我们的结论是，城市环境可以作为进化的试验台来解决进化生物学中新的和长期存在的问题。预计《生态、进化和分类学年度评论》第52卷的最终在线出版日期为2021年11月。修订后的估计数请参阅http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates。

期刊介绍： The Annual Review of Ecology, Evolution, and Systematics is a scholarly publication that has been in circulation since 1970. It focuses on important advancements in the areas of ecology, evolutionary biology, and systematics, with relevance to all forms of life on Earth. The journal features essay reviews that encompass various topics such as phylogeny, speciation, molecular evolution, behavior, evolutionary physiology, population dynamics, ecosystem processes, and applications in invasion biology, conservation, and environmental management. Recently, the current volume of the journal transitioned from a subscription-based model to open access through the Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open program. Consequently, all articles published in the current volume are now available under a CC BY license.
