Observational analysis shows local adaptation influencing life-history traits in populations, indicating the role of selective pressures.

Increased fecundity is favored under harsh fluctuating death rates, while fluctuating resources have no effect.
Deterministic and stochastic modeling reveal that local adaptation can arise through population crashes in island-mainland dynamics.
Local adaptation leads to population differentiation in response to diverse selective forces across heterogeneous environments.
These findings align with classic ecological theory about life-history traits and competitive abilities in varying conditions.

Hall et al. (2025) studied this question.
