Evolution now permeates all aspects of biology and evolutionary tools and approaches are increasingly being applied to problems of considerable socio-economical importance. For instance, evolutionary theory guides research aimed toward reducing drug resistance of pathogens and parasites, ensuring the long term genetic health of endangered species and crops, improving the understanding of the ultimate causes of medical diseases, and predicting the genetic response of populations to climate change and exploitation. Evolutionary Applications provides the first and only forum for publication by researchers who share interests both in improving our fundamental understanding of evolutionary processes and in using such knowledge to address questions of practical relevance. In supporting the growth of both basic and applied aspects of evolutionary biology, Evolutionary Applications creates a community for those that recognize the ubiquitous importance of evolution to the biological world.
