TL;DR: This work explores several key evolutionary principles under four main themes: variation, selection, connectivity, and eco‐evolutionary dynamics and illustrates their use in addressing applied problems.
Abstract: Evolutionary principles are now routinely incorporated into medicine and agriculture. Examples include the design of treatments that slow the evolution of resistance by weeds, pests, and pathogens, and the design of breeding programs that maximize crop yield or quality. Evolutionary principles are also increasingly incorporated into conservation biology, natural resource management, and environmental science. Examples include the protection of small and isolated populations from inbreeding depression, the identification of key traits involved in adaptation to climate change, the design of harvesting regimes that minimize unwanted life-history evolution, and the setting of conservation priorities based on populations, species, or communities that harbor the greatest evolutionary diversity and potential. The adoption of evolutionary principles has proceeded somewhat independently in these different fields, even though the underlying fundamental concepts are the same. We explore these fundamental concepts under four main themes: variation, selection, connectivity, and eco-evolutionary dynamics. Within each theme, we present several key evolutionary principles and illustrate their use in addressing applied problems. We hope that the resulting primer of evolutionary concepts and their practical utility helps to advance a unified multidisciplinary field of applied evolutionary biology.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, a review of alternative measures and indicators of energy poverty targeted to specific audiences and for particular purposes is presented, and the authors suggest that in many instances it is desirable to widen the scope of metrics used for designing and evaluating policies and programmes.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that by combining wide area power generation and decentralised power generation, it is possible to address the crucial issue of renewable generation in a comprehensive as well as in a technologically and economically viable manner.

TL;DR: In this article, a physical input-output analysis is applied to calculate direct and indirect land requirements for the production of exports from EU-15 to the rest of the world, based on a physical inputs-output model of the EU15.
