Sharp habitat shifts, evolutionary tipping points and rescue: quantifying the perilous path of a specialist species toward a refugium in a changing environment
Léonard Dekens
Abstract:Specialists species thriving under specific environmental conditions in narrow geographic ranges are widely recognised as heavily threatened by climate deregulation. Many might rely on both their potential to adapt and to disperse toward a refugium to avoid extinction. It is thus crucial to understand the influence of environmental conditions on the unfolding process of adaptation. Here, I study the eco-evolutionary dynamics of a sexually reproducing specialist species in a two-patch quantitative genetic model… Show more
