Ecology and Evolution, Volume 11, Issue 24, Page 18342-18356, December 2021., 2021 The success generalist species in urban systems is often related to a plastic diet and feeding‐related traits that allow them to take advantage of a variety of food subsidies provided by humans in cities. The classification of a species as generalist is commonly based on mean estimates of diet and feeding traits.

Molecular Ecology, Volume 30, Issue 8, Page 1880-1891, April 2021., 2021 Abstract The visual system of vertebrates has greatly contributed to our understanding of how different molecular mechanisms shape adaptive phenotypic diversity. Extensive work on African cichlid fishes has shown how variation in opsin gene expression mediates diversification as well as convergent evolution in colour vision.
