随着人为环境变化在地球上的传播和加剧，保护生物学家必须在大的空间和时间尺度上分析动态。生态和进化过程紧密地交织在一起。特别是，人类对环境变化的进化反应可以如此迅速和明显，以至于保护生物学再也不能忽视它们。为了应对这一挑战，目前保护生物学的争议领域应该被整合到一个统一的框架中。汇集保护遗传学，人口学和生态学，这本书介绍了进化保护生物学作为一种综合的方法来管理物种与生态相互作用和进化过程。物种的哪些特征和环境变化的哪些特征促进或阻碍了生态系统的进化反应？这些反应如何影响种群生存能力、群落动态和生态系统功能？在何种条件下，进化反应会改善而不是恶化环境变化的影响？这本书表明，进化保护生物学的巨大挑战是确定管理遗传和生态条件的策略，例如确保嵌入在快速变化的世界中的自然系统中有利的进化过程的持续运行。
As anthropogenic environmental changes spread and intensify across the planet, conservation biologists have to analyze dynamics at large spatial and temporal scales. Ecological and evolutionary processes are then closely intertwined. In particular, evolutionary responses to anthropogenic environmental change can be so fast and pronounced that conservation biology can no longer afford to ignore them. To tackle this challenge, currently dispare areas of conservation biology ought to be integrated into a unified framework. Bringing together conservation genetics, demography, and ecology, this book introduces evolutionary conservation biology as an integrative approach to managing species in conjunction with ecological interactions and evolutionary processes. Which characteristics of species and which features of environmental change foster or hinder evolutionary responses in ecological systems? How do susch responses affect population viability, community dynamics, and ecosystem functioning? Under which conditions will evolutionary responses ameliorate, rather than worsen, the impact of environmental change? this book shows that the grand challenge for evolutionary conservation biology is to identify strategies for managing genetic and ecological conditions such as to ensure the continued operation of favorable evolutionary processes in natural systems embedded in a rapidly changing world.
