The society's flagship journal, the Journal of Evolutionary Biology, publishes high-quality research articles on all aspects of evolutionary biology. ESEB also co-publishes Evolution Letters, a journal focusing on rapid dissemination of significant new research in evolutionary biology. Both journals aim to provide a platform for the latest ...
The John Maynard Smith Prize is a prize given by the European Society for Evolutionary Biology on odd years to an outstanding young researcher. It was first awarded in 1997 and is named after the evolutionary biologist John Maynard Smith (1920–2004).
An evolutionarily significant unit (ESU) is a population of organisms that is considered distinct for purposes of conservation.Delineating ESUs is important when considering conservation action.
Evolutionary biology is the subfield of biology that studies the evolutionary processes (natural selection, common descent, speciation) that produced the diversity of life on Earth. It is also defined as the study of the history of life forms on Earth.

Ecological evolutionary developmental biology [c] integrates research from developmental biology and ecology to examine their relationship with evolutionary theory. [78] Researchers study concepts and mechanisms such as developmental plasticity , epigenetic inheritance , genetic assimilation , niche construction and symbiosis .
Evolutionary taxonomy, evolutionary systematics or Darwinian classification is a branch of biological classification that seeks to classify organisms using a combination of phylogenetic relationship (shared descent), progenitor-descendant relationship (serial descent), and degree of evolutionary change.
Evolution is the change in the heritable characteristics of biological populations over successive generations. [1] [2] It occurs when evolutionary processes such as natural selection and genetic drift act on genetic variation, resulting in certain characteristics becoming more or less common within a population over successive generations.
