As climate change accelerates and habitats free from anthropogenic impacts diminish,
populations are forced to migrate or to adapt quickly. Evolutionary rescue (ER) is a …

Populations may survive environmental deterioration by evolutionary adaptation. However,
such evolutionary rescue events may be associated with ecological costs, such as reduction …

Populations that experience severe stress may avoid extinction through adaptation by
natural selection. This process is called evolutionary rescue and has been studied under …

Rapid evolutionary adaptation has the potential to rescue from extinction populations
experiencing environmental changes. Little is known, however, about the impact of short …

Populations can go extinct when their environments deteriorate, but evolutionary rescue
occurs when a shrinking population adapts to the new environmental conditions. The …

Substantial environmental change can force a population onto a path towards extinction, but
under some conditions, adaptation by natural selection can rescue the population and allow …

Biological populations may survive lethal environmental stress through evolutionary rescue.
The rescued populations typically suffer a reduction in growth performance and harbor very …

Evolutionary rescue following environmental change requires mutations permitting
population growth in the new environment. If change is severe enough to prevent most of the …

Environments rarely remain the same over time, and populations are therefore frequently at
risk of going extinct when changes are significant enough to reduce fitness. Although many …

Rapid environmental changes are putting numerous species at risk of extinction. For
migration-limited species, persistence depends on either phenotypic plasticity or …
