Evolutionary Applications
Overview
Evolutionary Applications is a peer-reviewed scientific journal that focuses on the application of evolutionary principles to address real-world challenges. It publishes research articles, reviews, and perspectives that explore the practical implications of evolutionary biology in fields such as medicine, agriculture, conservation, and industry. The journal aims to bridge the gap between theory and practice, providing valuable insights and innovative solutions for a wide range of applied evolutionary problems.

Host-parasitoid interactions are tied in coevolutionary arms races where parasitoids continuously have to evolve increased virulence as hosts evolve increased resistance. Over time, geographic structure in virulence and resistance can...

The Anthropocene is marked by increased population extirpations and redistributions driven primarily by human-induced climate change and habitat loss. Habitat loss affects populations by removing occupiable area, which reduces carrying...
