Cities occupy approximately 3% of the Earth's habitable land area and are home to roughly half of all humans worldwide, with both estimates predicted to grow. Urban space is thus becoming an important, novel ecological niche for humans and wildlife alike. Building on knowledge gathered by urban ecologists during the last half century, evidence of evolutionary responses to urbanisation has rapidly emerged. Urban evolutionary biology is a nascent yet fast-growing field of research - and a fascinating testing ground for evolutionary biologists worldwide. Urbanisation offers a great range of opportunities to examine evolutionary processes because of the radically altered and easily quantifiable urban habitat, and the large number of cities worldwide enabling rigorous, replicated tests of evolutionary hypotheses. Urban populations are increasingly exhibiting both neutral and adaptive evolutionary changes at levels ranging from genotypes to phenotypes. The novelty of urban evolutionary biology is that these changes are driven by the cities we have built, including effects of infrastructure, pollution, and the social characteristics of our urban neighbourhoods. It will thereby enrich the field of evolutionary biology with emergent yet incredibly potent new research themes where the urban habitat is key. With contributions written by leading evolutionary biologists working on urban drivers of evolution, Urban Evolutionary Biology (title in italics) is the first academic book in the field. It synthesises current knowledge on evolutionary processes occurring literally on our doorstep, across the globe and in each city independently. This advanced textbook is suitable for graduate level students as well as professional researchers studying the evolutionary biology and genetics of urban environments. It is also highly relevant to urban ecologists and urban wildlife practitioners.
