Eco-evolutionary conservation biology: contemporary evolution and the dynamics of persistence

2007-06-01

Abstract excerpt

1. Natural and human mediated perturbations present challenges to the fate of populations but fuel contemporary evolution (evolution over humanly observable time-scales). Here we ask if such evolution is sufficient to make the difference between population extinction and persistence. 2. To answer this question requires a shift from the usual focus on trait evolution to the emergent 'eco-evolutionary' dynamics that...
