Unidirectional response to bidirectional selection on body size. I. Phenotypic, life history and endocrine response

2018-12-17

Abstract excerpt

<h4>ABSTRACT</h4> Anthropogenic perturbations such as harvesting often select against a large body size and are predicted to induce rapid evolution towards smaller body sizes and earlier maturation. However, body-size evolvability and, hence, adaptability to anthropogenic perturbations remain seldom evaluated in wild populations. Here, we use a laboratory experiment over 6 generations to measure the ability of wi...
