Dear colleagues, we want to bring your attention to a call for
participants (from all career stages) for an NSF-supported, DCL-LTER
urban evolution workshop entitled, Multifaceted mechanisms of metropolis:
Integrating society, ecology, evolution, and plasticity (SEEP) to advance
urban evolutionary ecology.

We invite you to attend a 2-day, hybrid (in-person and virtual) workshop,
May 20 &21, 2022 in Tempe Arizona, the site of the NSF CAP-LTER. Our
focus is on the intersection of evolutionary biology, physiological,
and behavioral ecology to ask to what extent do organisms respond
to the altered climate and resource availability of urban areas via
phenotypic plasticity, genetic adaptation, and/or the evolution
of adaptive plasticity?  This workshop will hone our mechanistic
understanding of the genetic, physiological, and behavioral mechanisms
that scale up to population- and community-level changes in the abundance
and distribution of animals in metropolitan regions, as well as the
human drivers, outcomes, and feedbacks that shape these changes across
heterogeneous urban landscapes and over time (see Figure attached). Our
focus on mechanistic drivers will center on five human-altered resources
and selective agents associated with urbanization: heat, food, water,
pollution, and species interactions. Importantly, synergistic and
inclusive frameworks that integrate well-being and equity for both
human and non-human populations will be necessary for advancing positive
ecosystem outcomes and social-ecological solutions.

If you like to think about urban evolution, socio-environmental justice,
long-term data, ...-- consider joining us for this workshop. If interested
please visit our website at:

And fill out a statement of interest at:

to tell us more about yourself, your research interests, career stage,
taxonomic focus, and whether you are applying for travel support
(financial assistance preference given to ECRs)

Direct further inquiries to any of the PIs listed below, and please feel
free to distribute this call widely.
