The Academy's Evolution Site
Biological evolution is one of the most central concepts in biology. The Academies are committed to helping those interested in science to comprehend the evolution theory and how it is permeated in all areas of scientific research.
This site offers a variety of tools for teachers, students, and general readers on evolution. It includes key video clip from NOVA and WGBH produced science programs on DVD.
Tree of Life
The Tree of Life is an ancient symbol of the interconnectedness of life. It is seen in a variety of spiritual traditions and cultures as an emblem of unity and love. It also has practical applications, such as providing a framework to understand the evolution of species and how they react to changes in the environment.
Early attempts to describe the world of biology were built on categorizing organisms based on their metabolic and physical characteristics. These methods, which depend on the sampling of different parts of organisms, or DNA fragments have significantly increased the diversity of a Tree of Life2. However these trees are mainly comprised of eukaryotes, 에볼루션 바카라 and 에볼루션바카라사이트 bacterial diversity remains vastly underrepresented3,4.
Genetic techniques have greatly expanded our ability to depict the Tree of Life by circumventing the requirement for direct observation and experimentation. We can construct trees using molecular techniques such as the small subunit ribosomal gene.
Despite the dramatic growth of the Tree of Life through genome sequencing, a lot of biodiversity remains to be discovered. This is especially true of microorganisms, which can be difficult to cultivate and are usually only found in a single sample5. A recent analysis of all genomes resulted in an unfinished draft of the Tree of Life. This includes a variety of bacteria, archaea and other organisms that haven't yet been identified or the diversity of which is not fully understood6.
This expanded Tree of Life is particularly useful for assessing the biodiversity of an area, helping to determine if specific habitats require special protection. This information can be used in a variety of ways, such as finding new drugs, fighting diseases and improving crops. This information is also extremely beneficial to conservation efforts. It can help biologists identify areas that are most likely to be home to cryptic species, which may have important metabolic functions and are susceptible to changes caused by humans. While funds to protect biodiversity are important, the best method to protect the world's biodiversity is to equip more people in developing countries with the necessary knowledge to act locally and promote conservation.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny (also known as an evolutionary tree) illustrates the relationship between organisms. Scientists can construct a phylogenetic chart that shows the evolutionary relationships between taxonomic categories using molecular information and morphological similarities or differences. Phylogeny is crucial in understanding biodiversity, evolution and genetics.
A basic phylogenetic Tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 ) is a method of identifying the relationships between organisms that share similar traits that evolved from common ancestral. These shared traits are either homologous or analogous. Homologous traits share their evolutionary roots and 에볼루션바카라사이트 analogous traits appear similar but do not have the identical origins. Scientists organize similar traits into a grouping called a the clade. For example, all of the organisms that make up a clade share the characteristic of having amniotic eggs. They evolved from a common ancestor that had eggs. The clades then join to create a phylogenetic tree to determine the organisms with the closest relationship to.
Scientists utilize DNA or RNA molecular information to create a phylogenetic chart that is more accurate and precise. This data is more precise than the morphological data and provides evidence of the evolution background of an organism or 에볼루션바카라 [Earrelish35.Werite.net] group. The use of molecular data lets researchers identify the number of species that have an ancestor common to them and estimate their evolutionary age.
The phylogenetic relationship can be affected by a number of factors, including phenotypicplasticity. This is a type behaviour that can change as a result of unique environmental conditions. This can cause a particular trait to appear more similar to one species than another, obscuring the phylogenetic signal. However, this issue can be cured by the use of techniques such as cladistics that include a mix of homologous and analogous features into the tree.
In addition, phylogenetics can help predict the duration and rate of speciation. This information can assist conservation biologists in making decisions about which species to save from extinction. In the end, it is the conservation of phylogenetic variety that will lead to an ecosystem that is complete and balanced.
Evolutionary Theory
The fundamental concept of evolution is that organisms develop distinct characteristics over time based on their interactions with their environments. Many scientists have developed theories of evolution, such as the Islamic naturalist Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-274) who believed that an organism would develop according to its own requirements and 에볼루션 무료체험 - Bbs.Theviko.Com - needs, the Swedish taxonomist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) who developed the modern hierarchical taxonomy and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1844-1829), 에볼루션 게이밍 who believed that the use or non-use of certain traits can result in changes that can be passed on to future generations.
In the 1930s and 1940s, theories from various fields, including genetics, natural selection and particulate inheritance, came together to form a modern evolutionary theory. This describes how evolution occurs by the variations in genes within the population and how these variants alter over time due to natural selection. This model, called genetic drift mutation, gene flow and sexual selection, is a cornerstone of modern evolutionary biology and is mathematically described.
Recent advances in the field of evolutionary developmental biology have revealed how variations can be introduced to a species by genetic drift, mutations and reshuffling of genes during sexual reproduction and migration between populations. These processes, as well as others such as directional selection or genetic erosion (changes in the frequency of an individual's genotype over time) can lead to evolution, which is defined by change in the genome of the species over time, and also the change in phenotype as time passes (the expression of the genotype in the individual).
Students can gain a better understanding of the concept of phylogeny by using evolutionary thinking into all areas of biology. In a recent study conducted by Grunspan and co., it was shown that teaching students about the evidence for evolution increased their acceptance of evolution during a college-level course in biology.

Evolution in Action
Traditionally scientists have studied evolution through looking back, studying fossils, comparing species, and observing living organisms. However, evolution isn't something that happened 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 a changing environment. The results are often evident.
It wasn't until late 1980s when biologists began to realize that natural selection was also at work. The key is that various traits have different rates of survival and reproduction (differential fitness), and can be passed down from one generation to the next.
In the past, if one allele - the genetic sequence that determines colour was found in a group of organisms that interbred, 에볼루션바카라사이트 it could be more prevalent than any other allele. Over time, that would mean that the number of black moths within a population could increase. The same is true for many other characteristics--including morphology and behavior--that vary among populations of organisms.
It is easier to see evolutionary change when the species, like bacteria, has a rapid generation turnover. Since 1988 the biologist Richard Lenski has been tracking twelve populations of E. Coli that descended from a single strain. samples of each population are taken on a regular basis, and over fifty thousand generations have been observed.
Lenski's research has revealed that mutations can drastically alter the rate at the rate at which a population reproduces, and consequently the rate at which it changes. It also shows that evolution takes time, a fact that is difficult for some to accept.
Microevolution can be observed in the fact that mosquito genes for pesticide resistance are more prevalent in populations where insecticides are used. This is due to pesticides causing an enticement that favors individuals who have resistant genotypes.
The rapid pace of evolution taking place has led to a growing awareness of its significance in a world that is shaped by human activity, 에볼루션 블랙잭 - Http://psicolinguistica.letras.Ufmg.br/, including climate changes, pollution and the loss of habitats that hinder the species from adapting. Understanding the evolution process can aid you in making better decisions regarding the future of the planet and its inhabitants.
