DOI: 10.1002/ece3.9616
Abstract: Abstract Cities experience changes in abiotic factors, such as warming, increases in noise and light. These changes can lead to phenotypic changes. Several studies have revealed that altered environments change phenotypes in plants and animals… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s12192-020-01108-x
Abstract: Urbanization in low-income countries represents an important inflection point in the epidemiology of disease, with rural populations experiencing high rates of chronic and recurrent infections and urban populations displaying a profile of noncommunicable diseases. To… read more here.

DOI: 10.1098/rspb.2020.0763
Abstract: Human activity is drastically altering the habitat use of natural populations. This has been documented as a driver of phenotypic divergence in a number of wild animal populations. Here, we show that urban and rural… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12862-017-1025-9
Abstract: BackgroundThe molecular basis of evolutionary change is assumed to be genetic variation. However, growing evidence suggests that epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, may also be involved in rapid adaptation to new environments. An important… read more here.

DOI: 10.1186/s12960-017-0233-0
Abstract: BackgroundMost sub-Saharan African countries struggle to make safe surgery accessible to rural populations due to a shortage of qualified surgeons and the unlikelihood of retaining them in district hospitals. In 2002, Zambia introduced a new… read more here.

Cancer resection rates, socioeconomic deprivation, and geographical access to surgery among urban, suburban, and rural populations across Canada
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "PLoS ONE"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pone.0240444
Abstract: High-risk cancer resection surgeries are increasingly being performed at fewer, more specialised, and higher-volume institutions across Canada. The resulting increase in travel time for patients to obtain treatment may be exacerbated by socioeconomic barriers to… read more here.

DOI: 10.22605/rrh6631
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Understanding rural-urban differences, and understanding levels of life satisfaction in rural populations, is important in planning social and healthcare services for rural populations. The objectives of this study were to determine patterns of life… read more here.

DOI: 10.22605/rrh6909
Abstract: INTRODUCTION This study aimed to determine the relationship between symptoms of anxiety and/or anhedonia (inability to feel pleasure) and diet quality during confinement due to COVID-19 in rural populations in Latin America. METHODS This was… read more here.
