Eco-evolutionary dynamics in a changing world

摘要: Fast evolutionary changes are common in natural populations, though episodes of rapid evolution do not generally last for long and typically associated with changing environments. During such periods, dynamics may influence ecological population vice versa. This review is concerned spatial eco-evolutionary a focus on the occurrence species marginal habitats metapopulations inhabiting heterogeneous Dispersal gene flow key processes both cases, linking demographic to each other, facilitating but also constraining expansion current niche geographical range determining scale pattern adaptation An metapopulation model helps explain contrasting responses habitat loss fragmentation. Eco-evolutionary facilitate persistence environments, response only partially compensates negative consequences adverse environmental changes.
