Twenty-four lectures from the conference Interdisciplinary Solutions to
Evolutionary Challenges in Food, Health, and the Environment are online at
the Institute for Contemporary Evolution website (http://www.icevolution.org).
The meeting was a joint NSF and CSIRO-sponsored summit of leading
international researchers interested in unifying the field of applied
evolutionary biology.
Keynotes are by Tom Smith (UCLA), Evolutionary Management of Ecosystems &
Biodiversity, Ford Denison (U Minnesota), Darwinian Agriculture: Past
Tradeoffs Present Opportunities, and Sir Peter Gluckman (U Auckland),
Applying Evolutionary Principals to Improving Human Health.
Other topics include invasion biology, evolution of resistance and
virulence, adaptation to stress and climate change, and evolutionary
management of natural resources and agroecosystems. The lectures are
professionally edited and will interest research colleagues, students and
educators.
The talks are organized by speaker. You can choose among the videos with

Also at the web site is 'Evolution Island', a 12-minute film about the
meeting, which was held ay Heron Island on the Great Barrier Reef,
Australia, in 2010.
The film is at the top of the web page; if you have a small monitor, don't
overlook the talks below it.
