Biodiversity-the genetic variety of life-is an exuberant product of
the evolutionary past, a vast human-supportive resource (aesthetic,
intellectual, and material) of the present, and a rich legacy to
cherish and preserve for the future. Two urgent challenges, and
opportunities, for 21st-century science are to gain deeper insights
into the evolutionary processes that foster biotic diversity, and
to translate that understanding into workable solutions for the
regional and global crises that biodiversity currently faces. A
grasp of evolutionary principles and processes is important in
other societal arenas as well, such as education, medicine,
sociology, and other applied fields including agriculture,
pharmacology, and biotechnology. The ramifications of evolutionary
thought also extend into learned realms traditionally reserved for
philosophy and religion. The central goal of the In the Light of
Evolution (ILE) series is to promote the evolutionary sciences
through state-of-the-art colloquia-in the series of Arthur M.
Sackler colloquia sponsored by the National Academy of Sciences-and
their published proceedings. Each installment explores evolutionary
perspectives on a particular biological topic that is
scientifically intriguing but also has special relevance to
contemporary societal issues or challenges. This tenth and final
edition of the In the Light of Evolution series focuses on recent
developments in phylogeographic research and their relevance to
past accomplishments and future research directions. Table of
