do you think a city can change the traits of the organisms that live there? could there be differences between urban organisms and their rural counterparts of the same species? it has been established that cities have higher temperatures than nearby rural regions. as you move away from the city center, the temperature drops. and the larger the city, the higher the temperature. this phenomenon is known as the urban heat island effect, and it is due to features in the urban environment that affect the absorption of solar energy, the rate of heat loss, and patterns of air movement.
