The interface between ecology and evolution represents a crucial area of study that has profound implications for biodiversity conservation. This research review synthesizes insights from studies conducted between 2010 and 2024, examining how evolutionary processes shape ecological dynamics and, conversely, how ecological factors influence evolutionary trajectories. We explore the integration of evolutionary theory into conservation practices, focusing on the importance of adaptive traits, genetic diversity, and species interactions. Additionally, the review delves into the role of contemporary evolution in shaping ecological patterns, the challenges associated with conserving evolutionary potential amidst rapid environmental changes, and the need for interdisciplinary approaches that combine both ecological and evolutionary perspectives. Our findings suggest that incorporating evolutionary insights into conservation strategies can enhance the resilience and effectiveness of efforts to preserve biodiversity, particularly in the face of accelerating global change.
