The Academy's Evolution Site
Biology is one of the most central concepts in biology. The Academies are involved in helping those interested in science to understand evolution theory and how it can be applied in all areas of scientific research.
This site provides a range of tools for students, teachers and general readers of evolution. It contains key video clips from NOVA and WGBH produced science programs on DVD.
Tree of Life
The Tree of Life is an ancient symbol that represents the interconnectedness of life. It appears in many spiritual traditions and cultures as a symbol of unity and love. It has many practical applications as well, such as providing a framework to understand the evolution of species and how they respond to changing environmental conditions.
Early attempts to represent the world of biology were founded on categorizing organisms on their physical and metabolic characteristics. These methods, which rely on the sampling of different parts of living organisms, or sequences of short DNA fragments, significantly increased the variety that could be represented in the tree of life2. These trees are largely composed by eukaryotes, and the diversity of bacterial species is greatly underrepresented3,4.
Genetic techniques have greatly broadened our ability to depict the Tree of Life by circumventing the requirement for direct observation and experimentation. We can construct trees using molecular methods like the small-subunit ribosomal gene.
The Tree of Life has been dramatically expanded through genome sequencing. However, there is still much biodiversity to be discovered. This is especially relevant to microorganisms that are difficult to cultivate, and are typically present in a single sample5. Recent analysis of all genomes resulted in a rough draft of a Tree of Life. This includes a wide range of bacteria, 에볼루션 바카라 무료체험 바카라 무료 에볼루션; Hikvisiondb.Webcam, archaea and other organisms that haven't yet been isolated, or whose diversity has not been thoroughly understood6.
This expanded Tree of Life can be used to determine the diversity of a particular area and determine if certain habitats need special protection. This information can be utilized in many ways, including finding new drugs, fighting diseases and improving crops. The information is also useful for conservation efforts. It can help biologists identify areas most likely to be home to cryptic species, which may have important metabolic functions, and could be susceptible to changes caused by humans. While funds to protect biodiversity are important, the best method to preserve the world's biodiversity is to equip more people in developing countries with the knowledge they need to take action locally and encourage conservation.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny (also called an evolutionary tree) depicts the relationships between species. Scientists can build a phylogenetic diagram that illustrates the evolutionary relationships between taxonomic categories using molecular information and morphological differences or similarities. Phylogeny is crucial in understanding evolution, biodiversity and 에볼루션 카지노 genetics.
A basic phylogenetic Tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 ) identifies the relationships between organisms with similar traits that evolved from common ancestral. These shared traits can be either analogous or homologous. Homologous traits are similar in their underlying evolutionary path, while analogous traits look similar but do not have the same origins. Scientists group similar traits together into a grouping known as a clade. All organisms in a group have a common characteristic, like amniotic egg production. They all derived from an ancestor that had these eggs. A phylogenetic tree can be constructed by connecting the clades to determine the organisms who are the closest to one another.
Scientists utilize DNA or RNA molecular information to build a phylogenetic chart which is more precise and detailed. This data is more precise than morphological information and provides evidence of the evolution history of an individual or group. Researchers can utilize Molecular Data to determine the evolutionary age of living organisms and discover the number of organisms that share a common ancestor.
The phylogenetic relationships of organisms can be affected by a variety of factors, including phenotypic flexibility, a type of behavior that changes in response to specific environmental conditions. This can cause a characteristic to appear more similar in one species than other species, which can obscure the phylogenetic signal. However, this issue can be solved through the use of methods like cladistics, which include a mix of analogous and homologous features into the tree.
In addition, phylogenetics can help predict the length and speed of speciation. This information can assist conservation biologists make decisions about which species they should protect from extinction. It is ultimately the preservation of phylogenetic diversity which will create a complete and balanced ecosystem.
Evolutionary Theory
The central theme in evolution is that organisms change over time due to their interactions with their environment. Many scientists have proposed theories of evolution, including the Islamic naturalist Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-274) who believed that an organism could develop according to its own requirements, the Swedish taxonomist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) who developed the modern hierarchical system of taxonomy and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1844-1829), who suggested that the usage or non-use of traits can lead to changes that are passed on to the next generation.
In the 1930s and 1940s, theories from a variety of fields--including genetics, natural selection, and particulate inheritance -- came together to form the current evolutionary theory synthesis which explains how evolution occurs through the variation of genes within a population, and how these variants change over time as a result of natural selection. This model, which incorporates genetic drift, mutations as well as gene flow and sexual selection can be mathematically described.
Recent developments in the field of evolutionary developmental biology have shown that genetic variation can be introduced into a species by genetic drift, mutation, and reshuffling genes during sexual reproduction, and also by migration between populations. These processes, along with other ones like directional selection and genetic erosion (changes in the frequency of an individual's genotype over time), can lead to evolution that is defined as changes in the genome of the species over time and also the change in phenotype as time passes (the expression of that genotype in an individual).
Incorporating evolutionary thinking into all aspects of biology education could increase students' understanding of phylogeny and evolutionary. A recent study by Grunspan and colleagues, for example revealed that teaching students about the evidence for evolution increased students' acceptance of evolution in a college-level biology class.

Evolution in Action
Traditionally scientists have studied evolution through studying fossils, comparing species and studying living organisms. But evolution isn't a thing that occurred in the past; it's an ongoing process, that is taking place right now. Viruses evolve to stay away from new drugs and bacteria evolve to resist antibiotics. Animals alter their behavior because of the changing environment. The resulting changes are often evident.
It wasn't until the late 1980s that biologists began realize that natural selection was also in play. The key is that different traits have different rates of survival and reproduction (differential fitness) and are transferred from one generation to the next.
In the past, if an allele - the genetic sequence that determines colour appeared in a population of organisms that interbred, it could be more common than other allele. Over time, this would mean that the number of moths sporting black pigmentation could increase. The same is true for many other characteristics--including morphology and behavior--that vary among populations of organisms.
It is easier to track evolution when an organism, like bacteria, has a high generation turnover. Since 1988 biologist Richard Lenski has been tracking twelve populations of E. bacteria that descend from a single strain. samples from each population are taken every day and over fifty thousand generations have been observed.
Lenski's work has shown that mutations can alter the rate of change and the efficiency at which a population reproduces. It also demonstrates that evolution takes time, which is hard for some to accept.
Microevolution is also evident in the fact that mosquito genes for pesticide resistance are more prevalent in populations that have used insecticides. This is because pesticides cause an enticement that favors individuals who have resistant genotypes.
The rapidity of evolution has led to an increasing recognition of its importance particularly in a world shaped largely by human activity. This includes pollution, climate change, and habitat loss that prevents many species from adapting. Understanding evolution can help us make smarter decisions regarding the future of our planet, and the life of its inhabitants.
