Tóm tắt

 Persistence of wild species in human-altered environments is difficult, in part because challenges to fitness are complex when multiple environmental changes occur simultaneously, which is common in the Anthropocene. This complexity is difficult to conceptualize because the nature of environmental change is often highly context specific. A mechanism-guided approach may help to shape intuition and predictions about complexity
  fitness challenges posed by co-occurring stressors with similar mechanisms of action may be less severe than for those with different mechanisms of action. We approach these considerations within the context of ecotoxicology because this field is built upon a rich mechanistic foundation. We hypothesized that evolved resistance to one class of common toxicants would afford resilience to the fitness impacts of another class of common toxicants that shares mechanisms of toxicity.
