Inattention to this will only lead to greater challenges such as short-lived medicines and agricultural treatments problems that may ultimately hinder sustainable development argues a new study published online today in Science Express led by University of California Davis and the Center for Macroecology Evolution and Climate at the University of Copenhagen.
For the first time scientists have reviewed progress in addressing a broad set of challenges in agriculture medicine and environmental management using evolutionary approaches approaches that consider species'evolutionary histories and the likelihood of rapid evolutionary adaptation to human activities.

For this analysis the tool compared the effectiveness of several different alternatives including increasing the number of midwives by varying degrees increasing the number of obstetricians and a combination of the two.
If a countryâ##s midwife access were to increase to cover 60 percent of the population by 2015 34 percent of deaths could be prevented saving the lives of nearly 2. 3 million mothers and babies.
Bartlett says maternal mortality is the public health indicator with the greatest disparity between developed and developing countries. â#oewith a very functional medical systemâ#she says â#oematernal deaths become extremely rare events
The researchers say boosting coverage of midwives who provide family planning as well as pregnancy care to 60 percent of women would cost roughly $2200 per death averted as compared to $4400 for a similar increase in obstetricians.
while obstetricians are needed when surgical interventions such as cesarean sections are necessary Bartlett says. Midwives can administer antibiotics for infections
and medications to stimulate or strengthen labor remove the placenta from a patient having a hemorrhage as well as handle many other complications that may occur in the mother or her baby.
While adding more obstetricians would save additional lives they cost more to deploy and can only use their surgical skills in a sterile hospital setting something that is often unavailable in many rural settings.
When both midwives and obstetricians who provide family planning are available even more lives can be saved Bartlett says:
