Abstract

The paper investigates the role of selection on evolutionary rescue of population. The statistical mechanics technique is used to model dynamics of a population experiencing a natural selection and an abrupt change in the environment. The paper assesses the selective pressure produced by two different mechanisms: by strength of resistance and by strength of selection (by intraspecific competition). It is shown that both mechanisms are capable of providing an evolutionary rescue of population in particular conditions. However, for a small level of an extinction rate, the population cannot be rescued without intraspecific competition.
