The Academy's Evolution Site
Biology is one of the most central concepts in biology. The Academies have been for a long time involved in helping people who are interested in science comprehend the concept of evolution and 에볼루션 게이밍 how it permeates all areas of scientific exploration.
This site provides a range of resources for teachers, students, and general readers on evolution. It also includes important video clips from NOVA and WGBH produced science programs on DVD.
Tree of Life
The Tree of Life is an ancient symbol that symbolizes the interconnectedness of life. It is seen in a variety of religions and cultures as an emblem of unity and love. It also has practical uses, like providing a framework for understanding the evolution of species and how they respond to changes in environmental conditions.
Early approaches to depicting the world of biology focused on separating organisms into distinct categories that had been distinguished by their physical and metabolic characteristics1. These methods, which rely on the collection of various parts of organisms or DNA fragments, have greatly increased the diversity of a tree of Life2. These trees are largely composed by eukaryotes and bacteria are largely underrepresented3,4.
Genetic techniques have significantly expanded our ability to visualize the Tree of Life by circumventing the requirement for direct observation and experimentation. Particularly, 에볼루션 코리아 molecular techniques enable us to create trees by using sequenced markers such as the small subunit of ribosomal RNA gene.
The Tree of Life has been greatly expanded thanks to genome sequencing. However there is a lot of biodiversity to be discovered. This is particularly the case for microorganisms which are difficult to cultivate and are typically found in a single specimen5. A recent study of all known genomes 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.
This expanded Tree of Life is particularly useful for assessing the biodiversity of an area, helping to determine if certain habitats require protection. This information can be used in a variety of ways, from identifying the most effective treatments to fight disease to enhancing crop yields. The information is also incredibly valuable to conservation efforts. It helps biologists discover areas that are most likely to be home to cryptic species, which may have vital metabolic functions and 에볼루션 코리아 are susceptible to the effects of human activity. While funds to safeguard biodiversity are vital but the most effective way to preserve the world's biodiversity is for more people living in developing countries to be equipped with the knowledge to take action locally to encourage conservation from within.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny (also called an evolutionary tree) depicts the relationships between organisms. Scientists can create a phylogenetic diagram that illustrates the evolutionary relationship of taxonomic groups using molecular data and morphological differences or similarities. The role of phylogeny is crucial in understanding biodiversity, genetics and evolution.
A basic phylogenetic Tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 ) determines the relationship between organisms that share similar traits that evolved from common ancestors. These shared traits could be either homologous or analogous. Homologous traits are the same in terms of their evolutionary path. Analogous traits may look similar, but they do not have the same origins. Scientists group similar traits into a grouping called a clade. For instance, all the organisms in a clade share the characteristic of having amniotic egg and evolved from a common ancestor who had these eggs. The clades are then linked to form a phylogenetic branch to determine which organisms have the closest relationship.
For a more detailed and precise phylogenetic tree scientists use molecular data from DNA or RNA to establish the connections between organisms. This information is more precise and provides evidence of the evolutionary history of an organism. 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 relationships between organisms can be influenced by several factors including phenotypic plasticity, a kind of behavior 에볼루션 바카라 무료체험 that changes in response to specific environmental conditions. This can cause a characteristic to appear more like a species other species, which can obscure the phylogenetic signal. However, this problem can be reduced by the use of methods such as cladistics which include a mix of similar and homologous traits into the tree.
Furthermore, phylogenetics may help predict the time and pace of speciation. This information will assist conservation biologists in deciding which species to protect from extinction. In the end, it is the conservation of phylogenetic variety which will create an ecosystem that is complete and balanced.
Evolutionary Theory
The central theme of evolution is that organisms acquire distinct characteristics over time based on their interactions with their environment. Many scientists have developed theories of evolution, including the Islamic naturalist Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-274) who believed that an organism would evolve according to its own requirements, the Swedish taxonomist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) who conceived the modern hierarchical taxonomy and Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1844-1829), who suggested that the use or absence of traits can cause changes that can be passed on to future generations.
In the 1930s and 1940s, concepts 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 occurs through the variations of genes within a population, and how these variants change in time due to natural selection. This model, which incorporates genetic drift, 에볼루션 슬롯게임 mutations, gene flow and sexual selection can be mathematically described.
Recent developments in the field of evolutionary developmental biology have demonstrated that variation can be introduced into a species via mutation, genetic drift, and reshuffling genes during sexual reproduction, as well as through migration between populations. These processes, along with others such as directional selection or 에볼루션바카라 genetic erosion (changes in the frequency of the genotype over time) can lead to evolution that is defined as change in the genome of the species over time, and also the change in phenotype as time passes (the expression of the genotype in an individual).
Students can better understand the concept of phylogeny through incorporating evolutionary thinking in all areas of biology. A recent study by Grunspan and colleagues, for instance, showed that teaching about the evidence that supports evolution increased students' understanding of evolution in a college biology course.

Evolution in Action
Scientists have looked at evolution through the past, analyzing fossils and comparing species. They also study living organisms. Evolution is not a distant event, but a process that continues today. Bacteria evolve and resist antibiotics, viruses evolve and elude new medications and animals alter their behavior in response to the changing climate. The results are often apparent.
It wasn't until the late 1980s that biologists began realize that natural selection was at work. The key is the fact that different traits confer an individual rate of survival and reproduction, and can be passed down from one generation to the next.
In the past, when one particular allele - the genetic sequence that defines color in a group of interbreeding organisms, it might quickly become more common than all other alleles. In time, this could mean that the number of black moths within a particular population could rise. The same is true for many other characteristics--including morphology and behavior--that vary among populations of organisms.
The ability to observe evolutionary change is much easier when a species has a fast generation turnover, as with bacteria. Since 1988 the biologist Richard Lenski has been tracking twelve populations of E. bacteria that descend from a single strain; samples of each population are taken on a regular basis and over 500.000 generations have passed.
Lenski's work has demonstrated that mutations can drastically alter the efficiency with which a population reproduces--and so the rate at which it evolves. It also shows that evolution takes time, something that is hard for some to accept.
Microevolution can be observed in the fact that mosquito genes for resistance to pesticides are more prevalent in populations where insecticides have been used. This is because the use of pesticides creates a selective pressure that favors individuals with resistant genotypes.
The rapidity of evolution has led to an increasing recognition of its importance, especially in a world shaped largely by human activity. This includes the effects of climate change, pollution and habitat loss that prevents many species from adapting. Understanding evolution can help us make better choices about the future of our planet, as well as the lives of its inhabitants.
