Evolutionary suicide

From WikiMD's Food, Medicine & Wellness Encyclopedia

Evolutionary suicide is an evolutionary phenomenon in which the process of adaptation causes the population to become extinct. For example, individuals might be selected to switch from eating mature plants to seedlings, and thereby deplete their food plant's population. Selection on individuals can theoretically produce adaptations that threaten the survival of the population. [[Category:Uncategorized
