  abstract = {{W}e advocate the advantage of an evolutionary approach to conservation biology that considers evolutionary history at various levels of biological organization. {W}e review work on three separate plant taxa, spanning from one to multiple decades, illustrating extremes in metapopulation functioning. {W}e show how the rare endemics {C}entaurea corymbosa ({C}lape {M}assif, {F}rance) and {B}rassica insularis in {C}orsica ({F}rance) may be caught in an evolutionary trap: disruption of metapopulation functioning due to lack of colonization of new sites may have counterselected traits such as dispersal ability or self-compatibility, making these species particularly vulnerable to any disturbance. {T}he third case study concerns the evolution of life history strategies in the highly diverse genus {L}eucadendron of the {S}outh {A}frican fynbos. {T}here, fire disturbance and the recolonization phase after fires are so integral to the functioning of populations that recruitment of new individuals is conditioned by fire. {W}e show how past adaptation to different fire regimes and climatic constraints make species with different life history syndromes more or less vulnerable to global changes. {T}hese different case studies suggest that management strategies should promote evolutionary potential and evolutionary processes to better protect extant biodiversity and biodiversification.},
