Eco‐evolutionary dynamics in response to selection on life‐history

摘要: Understanding the consequences of environmental change on ecological and evolutionary dynamics is inherently problematic because complex interplay between them. Using invertebrates in microcosms, we characterise phenotypic, population before, during after exposure to a novel environment harvesting over 20 generations. We demonstrate an evolved life-history traits (the age- size-at-maturity, survival maturity) response selection caused by (wild laboratory) (juvenile or adult). Life-history evolution, which drives changes growth rate thus dynamics, includes increase age-to-maturity 76% (from 12.5 22 days) unharvested populations as they adapt new environment. Evolutionary responses are outweighed (~ 1.4 vs. 4% age-at-maturity per generation). The adaptive converts negative trajectory into positive one: example rescue.
