Evolutionary Rescue Is Mediated by the History of Selection and Dispersal in Diversifying Metacommunities

Rapid evolution can sometimes prevent population extirpation in stressful environments, but the conditions leading to “evolutionary rescue” in metacommunities are unclear. Here we studied the eco-evolutionary response of microbial metacommunities adapting to selection by the antibiotic streptomycin....
