Adaptation and Maladaptation in the Urban Habitat

Dr Anne Charmantier will show how cities offer unique opportunities to study fundamental eco-evolutionary processes. There is a rising tide of interest in urban environments: with the world’s human population still growing and UN habitat predictions forecasting that by 2050, 7 people out of 10 will be living in urban areas, the urban space is of intrinsic focal interest to humans worldwide, biologists included. In this talk, Dr Charmantier will present a nascent, yet fast-growing field of research: Urban Evolutionary Ecology.

Time: 18:00 BST
