Continent-wide genomic signatures of adaptation to urbanisation in a songbird across Europe
The genetic architecture underlying rapid adaptive responses to novel environments are poorly understood. A study of great tits from nine European cities finds that urban adaptation in a widespread songbird occurred through unique and shared selective sweeps in a core-set of behaviour-linked genes.
