Evolutionary Rate
Evolutionary rate is the speed at which a species evolves over time. It is determined by measuring the differences between two populations which are separated in time, space or both. It is an important concept in evolutionary biology as it helps to explain how and why species adapt to their environment and can be used to provide an understanding of how traits and characteristics change over time. Evolutionary rate is also used in conservation efforts and can be used to identify species at risk of extinction.
