Effects of anthropogenic light on species and ecosystems

Effects of anthropogenic light on species and ecosystems | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

Anthropogenic light is ubiquitous in areas where humans are present and is showing a progressive increase worldwide. This has far-reaching consequences for most species and their ecosystems. The effects of anthropogenic light on natural ecosystems are highly variable and complex. Many species suffer from adverse effects and often respond in a highly specific manner. Ostensibly surveyable effects such as attraction and deterrence become complicated because these can depend on the type of behavior and specific locations. Here, we considered how solutions and new technologies could reduce the adverse effects of anthropogenic light.

Continent-wide genomic signatures of adaptation to urbanisation in a songbird across Europe

Continent-wide genomic signatures of adaptation to urbanisation in a songbird across Europe | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

Urbanisation is increasing worldwide, and there is now ample evidence of phenotypic changes in wild organisms in response to this novel environment. Yet, the genetic changes and genomic architecture underlying these adaptations are poorly understood. Here, we genotype 192 great tits (Parus major) from nine European cities, each paired with an adjacent rural site, to address this major knowledge gap in our understanding of wildlife urban adaptation.

En ville, la mésange privilégie l'odorat pour s'alimenter, malgré la pollution

En ville, la mésange privilégie l'odorat pour s'alimenter, malgré la pollution | Biodiversité | Scoop.it

En ville, la mésange charbonnière privilégie l'odorat pour trouver son alimentation, malgré la pollution, alors que celle des champs se repose plus sur la vision, selon une étude qui souligne la capacité d'adaptation de ce volatile à un milieu urbain.
