DOI: 10.1073/pnas.2216526119
Abstract: By modifying environmental conditions, human activities are generating novel selection pressures, which pose challenges to wildlife (1–3). When faced with novel selection pressures, organismal populations can respond to this through evolutionary adaptation, modifying their phenotype… read more here.

Abstract: Fisheries exploitation can cause genetic changes in heritable traits of targeted stocks. The direction of selective pressure forced by harvest acts typically in reverse to natural selection and selects for explicit life histories, usually for… read more here.
