Evolutionary Significant Units

Evolutionary Significant Units is a population-level concept in conservation genetics that identifies distinct populations exhibiting significant divergence in allelic frequencies and adaptive genetic variation, thereby warranting separate management due to their unique evolutionary trajectories and contribution to overall species genetic diversity.
