City life favors species that are adaptable and, among other things, not too fussy about what they eat. A worldwide consortium of scientists calls the resulting collection of characteristics "urban trait syndrome." Their study includes data from 379 cities on six continents, with the largest data set coming from the Cornell Lab of Ornithology's eBird program . The research was published XXX in Nature Communications. "The most pronounced changes among city-dwelling organisms are in reproduction and foraging," said co-author Frank La Sorte, a senior researcher associate at the Cornell Lab.
