As anthropogenic environmental changes spread and intensify
across the planet, conservation biologists have to analyze dynamics
at large spatial and temporal scales. Ecological and evolutionary
processes are then closely intertwined. In particular, evolutionary
responses to anthropogenic environmental change can be so fast and
pronounced that conservation biology can no longer afford to ignore
them. To tackle this challenge, areas of conservation biology that
are disparate ought to be integrated into a unified framework.
Bringing together conservation genetics, demography, and ecology,
this book introduces evolutionary conservation biology as an
integrative approach to managing species in conjunction with
ecological interactions and evolutionary processes. Which
characteristics of species and which features of environmental
change foster or hinder evolutionary responses in ecological
systems? How do such responses affect population viability,
community dynamics, and ecosystem functioning? Under which
conditions will evolutionary responses ameliorate, rather than
worsen, the impact of environmental change?
