Urbanization shapes evolution through both chance (drift, colonization history) and selection, and new species interactions can rapidly rewrite that evolutionary story. (9/9) 👉 doi.org/qtm4 #Plantscience #UrbanEvolution #PlantEcology #EvolutionaryBiology

When accounting for predation, the data suggest: • Purple & pink morphs may previously have had a fitness advantage in rural areas • White may have had an advantage in urban areas But recent seed predation may be erasing those differences. (8/9)
