物种对当地环境的适应在自然界中是普遍存在的。更好地了解这种地方适应对于保护生物多样性至关重要。然而,保护实践可以依赖于物种的性状平均值,或者可以广泛地假设整个范围内的同质性,以告知管理。最近在研究当地适应性方面取得的方法上的进展为调整管理和养护物种的努力提供了机会。这些进展的实施将使我们能够更好地确定因气候变化而面临最大下降风险的人口,并强调可能的战略,以提高气候变化中人口持续性的可能性。在这篇文章中,我们回顾了当地适应研究的最新进展,并强调了这些工具可以应用于保护工作的方式。现有的尖端工具可帮助更好地确定和描述当地的适应情况。事实上,在管理决策中更多地纳入地方适应可能有助于满足在快速变化的世界中管理物种的迫切需求。
Adaptation within species to local environments is widespread in nature. Better understanding this local adaptation is critical to conserving biodiversity. However, conservation practices can rely on species’ trait averages or can broadly assume homogeneity across the range to inform management. Recent methodological advances for studying local adaptation provide the opportunity to fine-tune efforts for managing and conserving species. The implementation of these advances will allow us to better identify populations at greatest risk of decline because of climate change, as well as highlighting possible strategies for improving the likelihood of population persistence amid climate change. In the present article, we review recent advances in the study of local adaptation and highlight ways these tools can be applied in conservation efforts. Cutting-edge tools are available to help better identify and characterize local adaptation. Indeed, increased incorporation of local adaptation in management decisions may help meet the imminent demands of managing species amid a rapidly changing world.
