Evolutionary rescue in vertebrates: evidence, applications and uncertainty.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 19 Jan 2013

Abstract excerpt

The current rapid rate of human-driven environmental change presents wild populations with novel conditions and stresses. Theory and experimental evidence for evolutionary rescue present a promising case for species facing environmental change persisting via adaptation. Here, we assess the potential for evolutionary rescue in wild vertebrates. Available information on evolutionary rescue was rare and restricted...
