Biogeography of shell morphology in over‐exploited shellfish reveals adaptive trade‐offs on human‐inhabited islands and incipient selectively driven lineage bifurcation
Abstract
Humans are unintentionally affecting the evolution of fishery species directly through exploitation and indirectly by altering climate. We aim to test for a relationship between biogeographic patterns in the shell phenotypes of an over‐exploited shellfish and the presence of humans to identify human‐mediated adaptive trade‐offs. The implications of these trade‐offs are discussed with respect to the sustainability of the fishery.
