This month in Evolutionary Applications.

Abstract

This third issue of Evolutionary Applications features a wide range of topics, including evolutionary causes of invasiveness (Lee and Gelembiuk 2008), human sexual dimorphism (Crespi 2008), estimation of effective population size (Nomura 2008), genetic connectivity and habitat restoration (Raeymaekers et al. 2008), maize adaptation (Mercer et al. 2008), fitness consequences of wild-farm salmon hybridization (Fraser et al. 2008), adaptation to environmental stress (Gilchrist et al. 2008), and Darwinian perspectives on fisheries management (Olsen et al. 2008). Similar to the first two issues in this inaugural year, once again we see that evolutionary biology greatly contributes to our understanding of a wide array of practical issues. Below we highlight just a few of the articles representing the breath of topics covered in this month’s issue.
