Let p,φ be the weighted p-Laplacian defined on a smooth metric measure space. We study the evolution and monotonicity formulas for the first eigenvalue, λ 1 = λ(p,φ), of p,φ under the Ricci-harmonic flow. We derive some monotonic quantities involving the first eigenvalue, and as a consequence, this shows that λ 1 is monotonically nondecreasing and almost everywhere differentiable along the flow existence.
