摘要	The vast majority of studies in conservation biology focus on a single species at a time. However, many of the anthropogenic threats that species face occur via disrupted or enhanced interactions with other organisms. According to one recent analysis, interactions with introduced species, such as predators, parasites, and pathogens, are the eighth leading cause of species endangerment worldwide; they are the primary cause of endangerment in Hawaii and Puerto Rico (Czech and Krausman 1997). Altering interactions not only has ecological effects, but also it can generate selective pressures and evolutionary responses, which may either favor or disfavor the evolutionary persistence of species and interactions. An increased focus on interspecific interactions will thus enlighten our efforts to conserve species and, more pointedly, our ability to understand when species will and will not respond evolutionarily to conservation threats. Such a focus is also critical for efforts to conserve communities as units, because interactions are the crucial and poorly understood link between threatened species and threatened species assemblages.
