Overview

Evolutionary rates refer to the rate at which genetic changes accumulate in a species over time. Evolutionary rates are important for understanding the diversity of life on Earth, as they can help scientists predict how long species have been around, how they have adapted to their environment, and how they may evolve in the future. Evolutionary rates can also help predict the effects of climate change and other environmental changes on species. Furthermore, evolutionary rates can be used to inform conservation decisions, allowing conservationists to prioritize species with faster evolutionary rates in their efforts to protect biodiversity.
