在城市裡，演化經常在發生，無數的植物、動物、昆蟲在用驚人的方式適應人造的棲息地。演化生物學家曼諾．許特惠森談到奇特的生物，如愛速食的老鼠，和自我降溫的蝸牛，以描述都市野生生命不斷在轉變的奇觀，並解釋你能如何觀察到這種現象，這就要歸功於一個由熱情公民科學家組成的全球網路了。

動物、蟲子、植物如何在城市中演化

Urban environments act as powerful engines of rapid evolution, forcing plants and animals to adapt in real time. In New York, mice have evolved genes for digesting fatty human foods left behind by millions of park visitors. European snails in city centers now favor lighter shells to cope with rising urban heat. Across the world, pigeons, grasshoppers, and even mosquitoes are also evolving unique urban traits.
