But first they need specimens.Why it matters: The study will hopefully help researchers better understand how living in urban environments affects wildlife over many generations, says Megan Phifer-Rixey, who leads the Phifer-Rixey Lab at Drexel."I want to know if mice are adapting to living in cities as a small mammal, and if so, what does that look like?" she told Axios.Of note: The research will study mice in Richmond, Philadelphia and New York City.Phifer-Rixey said she was seeking older cities that presumably have been home to more generations of urban mice. A team of researchers wants to come to your house and trap some mice.What's happening: Science.An evolutionary biology lab at Drexel University in Philly is studying the difference between mice in rural and urban areas.
