Evolutionary traps and range shifts in a rapidly changing world.

Biology letters - 1 Jun 2016

Hale Robin, Morrongiello John R, Swearer Stephen E

Abstract excerpt

Humans are altering the environment at an unprecedented rate. Although behavioural plasticity has allowed many species to respond by shifting their ranges to more favourable conditions, these rapid environmental changes may cause 'evolutionary traps', whereby animals mistakenly prefer resources that reduce their fitness. The role of evolutionary traps in influencing the fitness consequences of range shifts...
