The Academy's Evolution Site
Biology is a key concept in biology. The Academies are committed to helping those interested in science comprehend the evolution theory and 에볼루션 사이트 how it can be applied across all areas of scientific research.
This site provides a wide range of sources for teachers, 에볼루션게이밍 students and general readers of evolution. It also includes important video clips from NOVA and WGBH produced science programs on DVD.
Tree of Life
The Tree of Life, an ancient symbol, symbolizes the interconnectedness of all life. It is a symbol of love and harmony in a variety of cultures. It also has practical applications, such as providing a framework to understand the history of species and how they react to changing environmental conditions.
The first attempts at depicting the biological world focused on separating species into distinct categories that were distinguished by physical and metabolic characteristics1. These methods rely on the collection of various parts of organisms, or fragments of DNA have significantly increased the diversity of a Tree of Life2. The trees are mostly 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. In particular, molecular methods allow us to construct trees by using sequenced markers, such as the small subunit ribosomal gene.
The Tree of Life has been greatly expanded thanks to genome sequencing. However there is still a lot of diversity to be discovered. This is particularly true of microorganisms, 에볼루션게이밍 which are difficult to cultivate and are usually only present in a single specimen5. A recent analysis of all genomes that are known has produced a rough draft of the Tree of Life, including numerous bacteria and archaea that have not been isolated and which are not well understood.
The expanded Tree of Life can be used to determine the diversity of a specific area and determine if certain habitats need special protection. This information can be used in a range of ways, from identifying new remedies to fight diseases to enhancing the quality of the quality of crops. This information is also extremely valuable in conservation efforts. It helps biologists discover areas that are most likely to have cryptic species, which could have important metabolic functions and be vulnerable to changes caused by humans. While conservation funds are important, the best method to preserve the world's biodiversity is to empower the people of developing nations with the necessary knowledge to take action locally and encourage conservation.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny (also called an evolutionary tree) illustrates the relationship between species. Scientists can build a phylogenetic chart that shows the evolution of taxonomic groups using molecular data and morphological similarities or differences. The concept of phylogeny is fundamental to understanding biodiversity, evolution and genetics.
A basic phylogenetic Tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 Finds the connections between organisms that have similar traits and have evolved from a common ancestor. These shared traits could be either homologous or analogous. Homologous traits are similar in terms of their evolutionary paths. Analogous traits could appear like they are but they don't have the same ancestry. Scientists group similar traits into a grouping known as a Clade. For example, all of the species in a clade share the characteristic of having amniotic eggs. They evolved from a common ancestor that had eggs. A phylogenetic tree is built by connecting the clades to identify the organisms who are the closest to one another.
Scientists make use of molecular DNA or RNA data to build a phylogenetic chart which is more precise and detailed. This information is more precise and provides evidence of the evolution of an organism. Researchers can utilize Molecular Data to calculate the age of evolution of organisms and determine how many species share an ancestor common to all.
The phylogenetic relationship can be affected by a variety of factors such as the phenotypic plasticity. This is a type of behavior that changes in response to unique environmental conditions. This can cause a characteristic to appear more similar in one species than other species, 에볼루션게이밍 which can obscure the phylogenetic signal. This problem can be addressed by using cladistics, which is a a combination of analogous and homologous features in the tree.
Additionally, phylogenetics aids determine the duration and rate at which speciation occurs. This information can aid conservation biologists to decide which species they should protect from the threat of extinction. It is ultimately the preservation of phylogenetic diversity which will result in an ecologically balanced and complete ecosystem.
Evolutionary Theory
The main idea behind evolution is that organisms change over time due to their interactions with their environment. A variety of theories about evolution have been developed by a wide range of scientists including the Islamic naturalist Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-1274) who proposed that a living organism develop gradually according to its requirements as well as the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) who designed the modern hierarchical taxonomy Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) who suggested that the use or misuse of traits causes changes that could be passed on to the 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 evolutionary theory synthesis which explains how evolution is triggered by the variations of genes within a population and how those variations change over time as a result of natural selection. This model, which is known as genetic drift, mutation, gene flow, and sexual selection, is the foundation of the current evolutionary biology and is mathematically described.
Recent discoveries in the field of evolutionary developmental biology have revealed the ways in which variation can be introduced to a species through genetic drift, mutations and reshuffling of genes during sexual reproduction and migration between populations. These processes, along with other ones like directional selection and gene erosion (changes in the frequency of genotypes over time), can lead towards evolution. Evolution is defined by changes in the genome over time as well as changes in the phenotype (the expression of genotypes in individuals).
Incorporating evolutionary thinking into all areas of biology education could increase student understanding of the concepts of phylogeny and evolutionary. A recent study by Grunspan and colleagues, for instance revealed that teaching students about the evidence for evolution increased students' understanding of evolution in a college-level biology class.

Evolution in Action
Traditionally scientists have studied evolution through studying fossils, comparing species, and observing living organisms. However, evolution isn't something that occurred in the past; it's an ongoing process, that is taking place right now. The virus reinvents itself to avoid new antibiotics and bacteria transform to resist antibiotics. Animals adapt their behavior as a result of a changing environment. The changes that result are often apparent.
It wasn't until late 1980s that biologists understood that natural selection could be observed in action as well. The key is that different traits confer different rates of survival and reproduction (differential fitness) and are passed from one generation to the next.
In the past, if one allele - the genetic sequence that determines color - was present in a population of organisms that interbred, it might become more common than other allele. Over time, that would 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.
Monitoring evolutionary changes in action is easier when a particular species has a fast generation turnover like bacteria. 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 on a regular basis and more than 500.000 generations have been observed.
Lenski's research has revealed that mutations can alter the rate of change and the efficiency of a population's reproduction. It also shows that evolution takes time, something that is hard for some to accept.
Microevolution can also be seen in the fact that mosquito genes for pesticide resistance are more common in populations where insecticides have been used. Pesticides create an exclusive pressure that favors those who have resistant genotypes.
The rapid pace at which evolution can take place has led to a growing awareness of its significance in a world shaped by human activity--including climate change, pollution, and the loss of habitats that prevent the species from adapting.
