Recent scientific evidence suggests that evolutionary adaptive capacity (the ability to adapt to changing environments via evolutionary processes; EVAC) can actually occur over shorter time periods than originally thought and the tools to measure and predict evolutionary changes are becoming increasingly available. However, accounting for EVAC in climate change vulnerability assessments and adaptation planning is uncommon and resource managers often make decisions without considering the potential evolution of species. 2, record 1, English, - evolutionary%20adaptive%20capacity
