Introductory section: The introduction to the article could be enhanced by defining 'Evolution' directly subsequent to 'Contemporary Evolution' in the first section.

Historical Background:

Paragraph 1, Line 3: Change vulcanic to volcanic.

Paragraph 2: The article could be strengthened by elaborating on the types of technology that have allowed scientists to study

Empirical Evidence:

Peppered Moth in England:

Paragraph 2, Line 3: Change seperate to separate

Guppies in Trinidad:

Although the two examples provided by the author are compelling, including examples of other living organisms, in addition to Animals, that have been studied and provide evidence for contemporary evolution would strengthen the article.

Applications to Conservation Biology:

The content of the article could be made more compelling if the author described contemporary evolution to applied conservation science practices. For example, a recent study that examined how and why global climate change has affected contemporary evolution response to a species/population. Also, describing evolutionary rescue will provide a good explanation about the application and connection to applied scientific fields.

Edit Summary

This draft is a new article and is supported by more than three reliable secondary sources. The article describes topics related to contemporary evolution that are very interesting, like conservation and restoration science. More examples of the application of the theory of contemporary evolution to the application will strengthen the article immensely.
