An interesting essay in PLoS Biology on how environment and changes to the environment influence adaption or extinction events. The aim of the authors is to develop a predictive model for the effects of a climatic change on the species subjected to the change. There is quite a lot of interest in marine conservation circles about how recent bleaching of corals due to higher than normal summer temperatures might effect their long-term survival, whether or not the theory here might be applicable… From Chevin L-M, Lande R, Mace GM (2010) Adaptation, Plasticity, and Extinction in a Changing Environment: Towards a Predictive Theory. PLoS Biol 8(4): e1000357. doi:10.1371/journal.pbio.1000357 (See also our previous post on iron limiting productivity) [...] [...] Environment driving speciation?
