Anthropogenic pollution is a growing problem of serious environmental concern. Effects of pollutants are diverse, strongly pollutant-specific, and potentially include modification to the rate at which new mutations arise. Despite theory predicting that stressor-driven modifications of the mutation rate may be important in determining the evolutionary response of populations to stressors, few empirical studies of this phenomenon exist. Further, there are reasons to think mutation rates may generally be evolutionarily optimized within species and buffered from environmental effects. Empirical evidence is particularly lacking in multicellular organisms and this incomplete knowledge likely hinders effective management of wild populations expose...
