Pedal to the metal: Cities power evolutionary divergence by accelerating metabolic rate and locomotor performance
Abstract Metabolic rates of ectotherms are expected to increase with global trends of climatic warming. But the potential for rapid, compensatory evolution of lower metabolic rate in response to rising temperatures is only starting to be explored. Here, we explored rapid evolution of metabolic rate...
