Environmental exposure does not explain putative maladaptation in road-adjacent populations

2016-12-19

Abstract excerpt

While the ecological consequences of roads are well described, little is known of their role as agents of natural selection, which can shape adaptive and maladaptive responses in populations influenced by roads. This is despite a growing appreciation for the influence of evolution in human-altered environments. There, insights indicate that natural selection typically results in local adaptation. Thus populations...
