WikiProject Evolutionary biology

A WikiProject to co-ordinate various aspects of evolutionary biology, particularly population genetics, molecular evolution and other related fields. It is distinct from WikiProject Tree of Life in that it attempts to cover patterns, process and theory rather than systematics and taxonomy.

Articles needing attention

• Applications of evolution
• Self-preservation - Stub article not currently listed under this project.
• Stylophthalmus - Start-class article also not currently included under this project
• Genetic erosion
• Evolutionary dynamics — stub that seem wholly redundant to Adaptive dynamics and Evolutionary game theory
  • Evolutionary dynamics very much a stub. Developed in theoretical biology in parallel with adaptive dynamics the commonality being representation of evolution using dynamical systems and thus linked to evolutionary game theory through the modelling of dynamic games. (Dynamic games currently has a redirect to sequential games but this is not accurate in this context.) So, stub definitely needs attention but all three topics are connected. See also evolutionary invasion analysis another stub that may be better incorporated in a rewrite of this article or of adaptive dynamics.Worramlaup21 (talk) 13:40, 18 September 2025 (UTC)
