The Academy's Evolution Site
Biological evolution is a central concept in biology. The Academies have long been involved in helping people who are interested in science understand the theory of evolution and how it permeates all areas of scientific exploration.
This site offers a variety of resources for teachers, students as well as general readers about evolution. It has the most important video clips from NOVA and WGBH's science programs on DVD.
Tree of Life
The Tree of Life is an ancient symbol of the interconnectedness of life. It is an emblem of love and unity in many cultures. It can be used in many practical ways as well, such as providing a framework for understanding the history of species and how they respond to changing environmental conditions.
Early attempts to describe the biological world were based on categorizing organisms based on their metabolic and physical characteristics. These methods are based on the sampling of different parts of organisms or short DNA fragments, have greatly increased the diversity of a tree of Life2. The trees are mostly composed by eukaryotes and bacterial diversity is vastly underrepresented3,4.
Genetic techniques have significantly expanded our ability to depict the Tree of Life by circumventing the need for direct observation and experimentation. In particular, molecular methods allow us to construct trees by using sequenced markers like the small subunit of ribosomal RNA gene.
The Tree of Life has been greatly expanded thanks to genome sequencing. However, there is still much diversity to be discovered. This is particularly the case for microorganisms which are difficult to cultivate and are usually present in a single sample5. A recent analysis of all genomes produced a rough draft of the Tree of Life. This includes a variety of archaea, bacteria, and other organisms that have not yet been isolated, or the diversity of which is not thoroughly understood6.
This expanded Tree of Life can be used to determine the diversity of a specific area and determine if specific habitats need special protection. This information can be used in a range of ways, from identifying the most effective medicines to combating disease to improving the quality of crops. This information is also useful to conservation efforts. It can aid biologists in identifying areas that are likely to have cryptic species, which could perform important metabolic functions and be vulnerable to human-induced change. Although funding to safeguard biodiversity are vital, ultimately the best way to preserve the world's biodiversity is for more people living in developing countries to be empowered with the necessary knowledge to take action locally to encourage conservation from within.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny (also known as an evolutionary tree) shows the relationships between organisms. Scientists can create a phylogenetic diagram that illustrates the evolutionary relationships between taxonomic groups using molecular data and morphological differences or 에볼루션 카지노 사이트 similarities. The role of phylogeny is crucial in understanding the relationship between genetics, biodiversity and evolution.
A basic phylogenetic tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 Identifies the relationships between organisms that have similar characteristics and have evolved from a common ancestor. These shared traits can be homologous, or analogous. Homologous traits are the same in terms of their evolutionary path. Analogous traits could appear like they are but they don't have the same ancestry. Scientists arrange similar traits into a grouping known as a the clade. All organisms in a group share a characteristic, like amniotic egg production. They all derived from an ancestor that had these eggs. A phylogenetic tree is then constructed by connecting the clades to identify the species who are the closest to one another.
To create a more thorough and accurate phylogenetic tree, scientists make use of molecular data from DNA or RNA to establish the connections between organisms. This information is more precise than morphological information and gives evidence of the evolutionary history of an organism or group. The analysis of molecular data can help researchers identify the number of organisms that share a common ancestor and to estimate their evolutionary age.
The phylogenetic relationships of a species can be affected by a number of factors that include phenotypicplasticity. This is a type behaviour that can change in response to particular environmental conditions. This can cause a characteristic to appear more like a species another, clouding the phylogenetic signal. This problem can be mitigated by using cladistics. This is a method that incorporates an amalgamation of homologous and analogous traits in the tree.
In addition, phylogenetics can help predict the length and speed of speciation. This information can aid conservation biologists to make decisions about which species to protect from extinction. In the end, it's the preservation of phylogenetic diversity that will create a complete and balanced ecosystem.
Evolutionary Theory
The main idea behind evolution is that organisms develop different features over time based on their interactions with their environment. Several theories of evolutionary change have been developed by a wide range of scientists including the Islamic naturalist Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-1274) who believed that an organism would evolve gradually according to its requirements and needs, the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) who designed the modern hierarchical taxonomy, as well as Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) who suggested that the use or misuse of traits can cause changes that could be passed onto offspring.
In the 1930s and 1940s, ideas from a variety of fields--including genetics, natural selection and particulate inheritance--came together to form the modern synthesis of evolutionary theory which explains how evolution occurs through the variation of genes within a population, and how those variants change in time due to natural selection. This model, which is known as genetic drift or mutation, gene flow, and 에볼루션 바카라 사이트 sexual selection, is a key element of the current evolutionary biology and can be mathematically explained.
Recent discoveries in the field of evolutionary developmental biology have revealed that genetic variation can be introduced into a species by mutation, genetic drift and reshuffling of genes in sexual reproduction, and also by migration between populations. These processes, along with others such as the directional selection process and the erosion of genes (changes in frequency of genotypes over time), can lead towards evolution. Evolution is defined by changes in the genome over time and changes in phenotype (the expression of genotypes in individuals).
Students can gain a better understanding of the concept of phylogeny through incorporating evolutionary thinking throughout all aspects of biology. A recent study by Grunspan and colleagues, for instance, showed that teaching about the evidence that supports evolution helped students accept the concept of evolution in a college biology course.

Evolution in Action
Scientists have studied evolution through looking back in the past, studying fossils, and comparing species. They also study living organisms. Evolution is not a distant moment; it is an ongoing process. The virus reinvents itself to avoid new antibiotics and 에볼루션카지노사이트 bacteria transform to resist antibiotics. Animals adapt their behavior because of a changing world. The resulting changes are often easy to see.
It wasn't until late 1980s that biologists began realize that natural selection was also in action. The reason is that different traits have different rates of survival and reproduction (differential fitness), and can be transferred from one generation to the next.
In the past, if one allele - the genetic sequence that determines color - was found in a group of organisms that interbred, it might become more common than any other allele. As time passes, that could mean the number of black moths in the population could increase. The same is true for many other characteristics--including morphology and behavior--that vary among populations of organisms.
Observing evolutionary change in action is much easier when a species has a rapid turnover of its generation, as with bacteria. Since 1988, Richard Lenski, a biologist, has tracked twelve populations of E.coli that descend from a single strain. Samples of each population have been collected regularly and more than 50,000 generations of E.coli have passed.
Lenski's research has shown that mutations can drastically alter the rate at which a population reproduces and, consequently, the rate at which it evolves. It also demonstrates that evolution takes time, something that is hard for some to accept.
Another example of microevolution is how mosquito genes for resistance to pesticides appear more frequently in areas where insecticides are used. This is because pesticides cause an exclusive pressure that favors those with resistant genotypes.
The rapid pace at which evolution takes place has led to an increasing recognition of its importance in a world that is shaped by human activity, including climate changes, pollution and the loss of habitats that prevent many species from adapting. Understanding evolution will help you make better decisions about the future of our planet and its inhabitants.
