This special issue of Evolutionary Applications comprises 15 papers that illustrate how evolutionary principles can inform the conservation and management of salmonid fishes. Several papers address the past evolutionary history of salmonids to gain insights into their likely plastic and genetic responses to future environmental change. The remaining papers consider potential evolutionary responses to climate warming, biological invasions, artificial propagation, habitat alteration, and harvesting. All of these papers consider how such influences might alter selective regimes, which should then favour plastic or genetic responses. Some of the papers then go on to document such responses, at least some of which are genetically based and adaptive. Despite the different approaches and target species, all of the papers argue for the importance of evolutionary considerations in the conservation and management of salmonids.
本期《进化应用》特刊包含15篇论文，这些论文阐述了进化原理如何为鲑科鱼类的保护和管理提供信息。几篇论文探讨了鲑科鱼类过去的进化历史，以便深入了解它们对未来环境变化可能产生的可塑性和遗传反应。其余论文则考虑了对气候变暖、生物入侵、人工繁殖、栖息地改变和捕捞的潜在进化反应。所有这些论文都探讨了这些影响如何改变选择机制，进而有利于可塑性或遗传反应。其中一些论文接着记录了这些反应，其中至少有一些是基于遗传且具有适应性的。尽管研究方法和目标物种各不相同，但所有论文都认为在鲑科鱼类的保护和管理中考虑进化因素非常重要。
