The Academy's Evolution Site

The concept of biological evolution is a fundamental concept in biology. The Academies are involved in helping those interested in the sciences understand evolution theory and how it is permeated throughout all fields of scientific research.

This site provides students, teachers and general readers with a wide range of learning resources about evolution. It includes key video clips from NOVA and the WGBH-produced science programs on DVD.

Tree of Life

The Tree of Life is an ancient symbol of the interconnectedness of all life. It is seen in a variety of spiritual traditions and cultures as a symbol of unity and love. It has numerous practical applications as well, including providing a framework to understand the history of species, 에볼루션카지노사이트 and how they react to changing environmental conditions.

The first attempts at depicting the biological world focused on separating organisms into distinct categories that were distinguished by physical and metabolic characteristics1. These methods, based on the sampling of various parts of living organisms or small fragments of their DNA greatly increased the variety of organisms that could be included in the tree of life2. However these trees are mainly made up of eukaryotes. Bacterial diversity remains vastly underrepresented3,4.

In avoiding the necessity of direct experimentation and observation, genetic techniques have made it possible to represent the Tree of Life in a more precise way. Trees can be constructed by using molecular methods, such as the small-subunit ribosomal gene.

The Tree of Life has been significantly expanded by genome sequencing. However there is still a lot of biodiversity to be discovered. This is particularly true for microorganisms that are difficult to cultivate, and are usually present in a single sample5. A recent analysis of all genomes produced a rough draft of a Tree of Life. This includes a wide range of bacteria, archaea and other organisms that haven't yet been identified or whose diversity has not been thoroughly understood6.

The expanded Tree of Life can be used to evaluate the biodiversity of a specific region and determine if specific habitats require special protection. This information can be utilized in many ways, including identifying new drugs, combating diseases and improving crops. This information is also extremely valuable to conservation efforts. It can help biologists identify the areas that are most likely to contain cryptic species with potentially important metabolic functions that may be at risk of anthropogenic changes. Although funds to protect biodiversity are essential however, the most effective method to preserve the world's biodiversity is for more people living in developing countries to be empowered with the knowledge to act locally in order to promote conservation from within.

Phylogeny

A phylogeny, also called an evolutionary tree, illustrates the relationships between various groups of organisms. By using molecular information, morphological similarities and differences, or ontogeny (the process of the development of an organism) scientists can create a phylogenetic tree that illustrates the evolution of taxonomic categories. The phylogeny of a tree plays an important role in understanding biodiversity, genetics and 에볼루션 evolution.

A basic phylogenetic tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 Determines the relationship between organisms with similar traits and evolved from a common ancestor. These shared traits may be analogous, or homologous. Homologous traits are identical in their evolutionary origins, while analogous traits look similar, but do not share the identical origins. Scientists group similar traits into a grouping known as a clade. For instance, all of the species in a clade share the characteristic of having amniotic egg and evolved from a common ancestor which had eggs. A phylogenetic tree can be constructed by connecting the clades to determine the organisms which are the closest to one another.

For a more precise and 에볼루션 슬롯 accurate phylogenetic tree, scientists make use of molecular data from DNA or RNA to identify the relationships among organisms. This information is more precise and gives evidence of the evolution history of an organism. The use of molecular data lets researchers determine the number of organisms who share a common ancestor and to estimate their evolutionary age.

The phylogenetic relationships between organisms can be influenced by several factors, including phenotypic flexibility, a type of behavior that alters in response to unique environmental conditions. This can cause a trait to appear more similar in one species than another, obscuring the phylogenetic signal. This problem can be addressed by using cladistics, which is a 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 assist conservation biologists make decisions about which species they should protect from the threat of extinction. In the end, it is the preservation of phylogenetic diversity which will create an ecosystem that is balanced and complete.

Evolutionary Theory

The central theme of evolution is that organisms acquire distinct characteristics over time due to their interactions with their surroundings. Many theories of evolution have been developed by a wide variety of scientists including the Islamic naturalist Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-1274) who envisioned an organism developing slowly according to its needs and needs, the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) who developed the modern hierarchical taxonomy, as well as Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) who suggested that the use or non-use of traits causes changes that can 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 create the modern evolutionary theory, which defines how evolution happens through the variations of genes within a population, and how these variants change over time as a result of natural selection. This model, which encompasses mutations, genetic drift, gene flow and sexual selection is mathematically described.

Recent advances in evolutionary developmental biology have revealed how variations can be introduced to a species via mutations, genetic drift and reshuffling of genes during sexual reproduction and the movement between populations. These processes, along with others like directional selection and genetic erosion (changes in the frequency of a genotype over time) can result in evolution which is defined by change in the genome of the species over time and also by changes in phenotype as time passes (the expression of that genotype within the individual).

Incorporating evolutionary thinking into all aspects of biology education could increase students' understanding of phylogeny as well as evolution. A recent study conducted by Grunspan and colleagues, for instance demonstrated that teaching about the evidence supporting evolution increased students' understanding of evolution in a college biology course. To find out more about how to teach about evolution, read The Evolutionary Potential of all Areas of Biology and 에볼루션 무료체험 Thinking Evolutionarily: A Framework for Infusing Evolution into Life Sciences Education.

Evolution in Action

Traditionally, scientists have studied evolution by studying fossils, comparing species, and observing living organisms. Evolution isn't a flims moment; it is an ongoing process that continues to be observed today. Bacteria mutate and resist antibiotics, viruses re-invent themselves and elude new medications and animals change their behavior to the changing climate. The changes that result are often easy to see.

It wasn't until late 1980s that biologists began to realize that natural selection was also in action. The reason is that different traits confer different rates of survival and reproduction (differential fitness), and can be passed from one generation to the next.

In the past when one particular allele--the genetic sequence that controls coloration - was present in a group of interbreeding organisms, it could quickly become more common than all other alleles. As time passes, that 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.

Observing evolutionary change in action is easier when a particular species has a rapid generation turnover like bacteria. Since 1988, Richard Lenski, a biologist, has been tracking twelve populations of E.coli that are descended from one strain. The samples of each population have been collected regularly and more than 50,000 generations of E.coli have been observed to have passed.

Lenski's work has demonstrated that a mutation can profoundly alter the rate at which a population reproduces and, consequently, the rate at which it evolves. It also shows evolution takes time, which is difficult for some to accept.

Microevolution can be observed in the fact that mosquito genes for resistance to pesticides are more prevalent in areas where insecticides have been used. This is because the use of pesticides causes a selective pressure that favors those with resistant genotypes.

The rapidity of evolution has led to a growing awareness of its significance, 에볼루션 슬롯 especially 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 assist you in making better choices regarding the future of the planet and its inhabitants.
