Evolutionary rescue can prevent extinction following environmental change
G Bell, A Gonzalez - Ecology letters, 2009 - Wiley Online Library
The ubiquity of global change and its impacts on biodiversity poses a clear and urgent
challenge for evolutionary biologists. In many cases, environmental change is so …

Adaptation of experimental yeast populations to stressful conditions in relation to population size
The purpose of this experiment was to find out how a population becomes adapted to
extremely stressful conditions as its environment deteriorates. We created a deteriorating …

Adaptation and evolutionary rescue in metapopulations experiencing environmental deterioration
G Bell, A Gonzalez - Science, 2011 - science.org
It is not known whether evolution will usually be rapid enough to allow a species to adapt
and persist in a deteriorating environment. We tracked the eco-evolutionary dynamics of …

Evolution and extinction in a changing environment: a quantitative‐genetic analysis
Because of the ubiquity of genetic variation for quantitative traits, virtually all populations
have some capacity to respond evolutionarily to selective challenges. However, natural …

The probability of evolutionary rescue: towards a quantitative comparison between theory and evolution experiments
Evolutionary rescue occurs when a population genetically adapts to a new stressful
environment that would otherwise cause its extinction. Forecasting the probability of …
