Most natural populations intermittently experience extremely
stressful conditions. This book discusses how such conditions can
cause periods of intense selection, increasing both phenotypic and
genetic variation, and allowing organisms with novel
characteristics to be first generated and then established in the
population. The authors argue that stressful conditions can have a
major impact on the environment, backing up their arguments with
evidence from the fossil record. They suggest further that, as a
consequence, periods of stress must be taken into consideration
when long term conservation strategies are planned, particularly as
stressful conditions are becoming increasingly prevalent as a
result of human activities. This broad overview will be of great
interest to students and researchers in the field of evolutionary
biology, genetics, ecology, palaeontology and conservation biology.
