We develop the hypothesis that trait combinations that are likely to lead to extinction represent ecological boundaries that species must avoid during their evolution if they are to remain extant. These boundaries then define what we term 'viable eco-evolutionary pathways'. We illustrate how this can operate using a model of predator evolution and computational eco-evolutionary simulations.
