Rapid evolution can affect outcomes in the application of biological control (see July 2012 special issue of Evolutionary Applications).
Nakagawa, S. et al. Meta-analysis of variation: ecological and evolutionary applications and beyond.
The RZSS genetic study, which was published last week in the Journal of Evolutionary Applications, tested samples from 276 live wild and captive wildcats, and samples from dead specimens including roadkill, and compared them with 19 domestic cat samples.
Evolutionary applications in medicine are diverse, ranging from established methods such as population genetics to newer attempts to understand why the body has traits, such as the narrow birth canal in females, that leave it vulnerable to disease.
There are also businesses that are working on Evolutionary Applications embedded within very large cap companies.
Companies marketing evolutionary applications have the least valuation uncertainty; those marketing revolutionary developments have the most.
In my mind, the sweet spot for most investors lies at the boundary between Evolutionary Applications and Novel Adaptations.
Evolutionary Applications are usually well-funded and / or overinvested, and there is little chance for a short-term investment edge barring a large market price dislocation.
Natural selection is the basis of all evolutionary applications in biology as well as studies of cultural process in archaeology.
Evolutionary applications of game theory present one of the most pedagogically accessible varieties of genuine, contemporary theoretical biology.
As time passes, Evolutionary Applications become commonplace, Novel Adaptations become widely commercialized and begin an Evolutionary Development process, and Revolutionary Developments begin to make their way into the realm of Novel Adaptations.
