Ecological pleiotropy and indirect effects alter the potential for evolutionary rescue

Abstract Invading predators can negatively affect naïve prey populations due to a lack of evolved defenses. Many species therefore may be at risk of extinction due to overexploitation by exotic predators. Yet the strong selective effect of predation might drive evolution of imperiled prey toward mor...
