Popis: Anthropogenic perturbations almost inevitably alter the selective pressures acting on organisms, either directly through artificial selection, or indirectly by changing natural selection. Impacted populations must respond to these anthropogenic selective pressures by evolving life histories that are more fit to the newly selected, composite adaptive landscape that results from the combination of anthropogenic and natural selection. This response is the subject of the present article. First, basic theory of selection and response to selection is recalled, then a specific focus on three major sources of anthropogenic selection (harvesting, habitat fragmentation and temperature increase) is provided, and finally how improving our predictions of human-induced evolution will require accounting for interactions between rapid evolution and ecological change, the so-called eco-evolutionary feedback loop, is examined.
