Our aim:<\/h1>\n

EvolvES (Evolution for Earth Sustainability) aims at providing an evolutionary framework for biodiversity science. <\/span><\/h2>\n

The exuberant diversity of life around us, which we call biodiversity, has been lost or reduced at an unprecedented scale and rate due to human interventions since we became the dominant species. These detrimental processes continue at an ever-accelerating rate. There is an urgent need to identify, organize, and monitor biodiversity with much improved accuracy and precision.<\/span><\/p>\n

While much fundamental work remains to be done, we can still formulate areas of evolutionary investigation of direct significance to understanding and managing biodiversity. Answers to these challenges critically depend on bringing together our ever-expanding baseline data on species identities, distributions, and phylogenetic relationships, as well as knowledge of the relevant underlying evolutionary processes.<\/span><\/p>\n

EvolvES plays a key role in catalyzing the international communication that is needed to tackle these problems in a timely fashion and on a global scale, thus promoting a truly integrative, socially relevant biodiversity science. Our mission is to:<\/span><\/p>\n
