  1. Mechanisms for Microevolution III Human Impact

  2. Human Impact on Evolution • Humans actions have widespread effects on all species. • These interactions become agents of natural selection and have the potential to influence the evolution of species. • The evolutionary consequences can be: • Intentional – in artificial selection, individuals with desired traits are selected to mate • Unintentional – habitat loss decreases pop. size and can cause genetic bottlenecks

  3. Artificial Selection • Humans choose individual animals or plants to breed because they have desirable traits.
