Evolutionary rescue of sexual and asexual populations in a deteriorating environment.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2012

Lachapelle Josianne, Bell Graham

Abstract excerpt

The environmental change experienced by many contemporary populations of organisms poses a serious risk to their survival. From the theory of evolutionary rescue, we predict that the combination of sex and genetic diversity should increase the probability of survival by increasing variation and thereby the probability of generating a type that can tolerate the stressful environment. We tested this prediction by...
