Definition

Glossary of "Introduction to Conservation Genetics (2nd ed.)" by Frankham et al. (2010)

• A classification of populations that have substantial reproductive isolation which has led to adaptive differences so that the population represents a significant evolutionary component of the species. The original term used was "evolutionarily" (Ryder 1986). However, both evolutionarily and evolutionary are currently used in the literature.
