Fig. 3. — Published evidence for genetic trait changes in response to human activities. Proportion of study population traits that show rates of phenotypic change in response to the five main human threats to biodiversity for which there was evidence that the changes were at least partly genetic. Data are from version 4.04 of the trait database used in Alberti et al. [105]. We filtered the dataset to exclude pairwise allochronic contrasts and to include only cases were Haldane or Darwin rates were calculated. We also only retained rates measured between 1 and 300 generations, to illustrate only studies that have focused on microevolution to the five main threats discussed in this review (N_rates = 2239, N_studies = 124)
