Exploring evolution in urban environments

Cities are fascinating ecosystems for studying evolution. I’ve been looking into how urban wildlife, like pigeons and raccoons, adapt their behaviors and physical traits based on the human-induced changes in their habitats. It makes you wonder how evolutionary mechanisms are at play in real-time, especially when you consider the rapid pace of environmental shifts in urban areas. Has anyone else done similar research or observations?
