Evolutionary biology High‑importance

	Evolutionary biology portal This article is part of WikiProject Evolutionary biology, an attempt at building a useful set of articles on evolutionary biology and its associated subfields such as population genetics, quantitative genetics, molecular evolution, phylogenetics, and evolutionary developmental biology. It is distinct from the WikiProject Tree of Life in that it attempts to cover patterns, process and theory rather than systematics and taxonomy.

Yes to Merging

I belive that it should merge under genetic variation as there is no point in having the two pages separte as thay relate to the same topic and would help and inform readers more on the topic if merged.

Well, I do agree. Merging the two pages would also contribute to the reader's understanding in general. 102.221.231.187 (talk) 20:59, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Expansion

Perhaps a small summary of the article mutation would be appropriate, as mutation is after all the origin of all genetic variation and diversity. Richard001 02:42, 8 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Of coarse it might prove to be a distraction to scholars who are studying genetic variation only. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.81.48.233 (talk) 21:50, 22 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge again?

I think this article should be merged back with genetic diversity, I don't see any reason for two articles here. Joannamasel (talk) 19:52, 9 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

No, I don't think a merge would be an improvement. --Crystal labyrinth (talk) 17:01, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I concur on not merging. Genetic diversity is in the realm of population genetics, whereas genetic variation has more of a molecular genetics focus. This article needs some work, btw. Besides in-line refs, there is more depth that could be added about different types genetic variations, their mechanism, prevalence, biological impact, etc. -- SteveChervitzTrutane (talk) 05:48, 14 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Images

I know this might not sound so important, but since we all are giving ideas, I thought maybe we could replace some images so all the readers can understand that genetic variations can also appear in plants, flowers, insects, etc. I will add them when I learn how to do it correctly. --Carla R2D2 (talk) 17:42, 28 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
