The Academy's Evolution Site
The concept of biological evolution is among the most central concepts in biology. The Academies are committed to helping those who are interested in the sciences understand evolution theory and how it is incorporated throughout all fields of scientific research.
This site provides students, teachers and general readers with a variety of learning resources on evolution. It contains key video clips from NOVA and 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 religions and cultures as a symbol of unity and love. It also has important practical applications, such as providing a framework for understanding the evolution of species and how they respond to changes in the environment.
Early approaches to depicting the biological world focused on the classification of organisms into distinct categories that were identified by their physical and metabolic characteristics1. These methods are based on the collection of various parts of organisms or fragments of DNA, have significantly increased the diversity of a tree of Life2. These trees are mostly populated by eukaryotes and bacterial diversity is vastly underrepresented3,4.
Genetic techniques have greatly broadened our ability to visualize the Tree of Life by circumventing the need for direct observation and experimentation. We can construct trees using molecular techniques, such as the small-subunit ribosomal gene.
The Tree of Life has been dramatically expanded through genome sequencing. However there is a lot of biodiversity to be discovered. This is particularly true of microorganisms, which are difficult to cultivate and are often only present in a single sample5. A recent analysis of all genomes resulted in an initial draft of a Tree of Life. This includes a large number 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 is particularly beneficial in assessing the biodiversity of an area, assisting to determine if certain habitats require special protection. This information can be used in a range of ways, from identifying the most effective treatments to fight disease to enhancing the quality of crops. The information is also beneficial for conservation efforts. It can aid biologists in identifying areas that are most likely to be home to cryptic species, which could have vital metabolic functions and be vulnerable to the effects of human activity. While funding to protect biodiversity are important, the most effective way to conserve the world's biodiversity is to empower more people in developing countries with the knowledge they need to take action locally and encourage conservation.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny is also known as an evolutionary tree, illustrates the relationships between various groups of organisms. Using molecular data as well as morphological similarities and distinctions, 에볼루션 바카라 무료체험 or ontogeny (the course of development of an organism), scientists can build a phylogenetic tree which illustrates the evolutionary relationships between taxonomic categories. The phylogeny of a tree plays an important role in understanding genetics, biodiversity and evolution.
A basic phylogenetic Tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 Finds the connections between organisms with similar traits and have evolved from an ancestor that shared traits. These shared traits could be analogous or homologous. Homologous traits are the same in terms of their evolutionary paths. Analogous traits may look like they are but they don't have the same origins. Scientists arrange similar traits into a grouping called a clade. For instance, all the organisms in a clade have the characteristic of having amniotic eggs. They evolved from a common ancestor which had eggs. The clades are then linked to form a phylogenetic branch that can determine which organisms have the closest relationship to.
Scientists utilize DNA or RNA molecular data to create a phylogenetic chart that is more accurate and detailed. This data is more precise than morphological information and provides evidence of the evolutionary history of an individual 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 variety of factors, including the phenotypic plasticity. This is a type of behavior that alters as a result of unique environmental conditions. This can cause a particular trait to appear more similar to one species than another, clouding the phylogenetic signal. However, this issue can be solved through the use of methods such as cladistics which combine similar and homologous traits into the tree.
Additionally, phylogenetics can help determine the duration and speed at which speciation takes place. This information will assist conservation biologists in making decisions about which species to protect from disappearance. Ultimately, it is the preservation of phylogenetic diversity which will result in a complete and balanced ecosystem.
Evolutionary Theory
The main idea behind evolution is that organisms acquire distinct characteristics over time based on their interactions with their environments. Many scientists have proposed 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 needs, the Swedish taxonomist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) who conceived the modern hierarchical taxonomy as well as Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1844-1829), who suggested 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 a variety of fields -- including genetics, natural selection and particulate inheritance -- came together to form the modern synthesis of evolutionary theory, which defines how evolution is triggered by the variations of genes within a population, and 에볼루션 게이밍 how those variations change over time due to natural selection. This model, 무료 에볼루션 which encompasses genetic drift, mutations as well as gene flow and sexual selection is mathematically described mathematically.
Recent advances in evolutionary developmental biology have shown how variation can be introduced to a species through genetic drift, mutations and reshuffling of genes during sexual reproduction and migration between populations. These processes, 에볼루션코리아 in conjunction with others, such as directionally-selected selection and erosion of genes (changes in the 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 an individual).
Students can gain a better understanding of the concept of phylogeny by using evolutionary thinking in all areas of biology. A recent study by Grunspan and 에볼루션바카라 colleagues, for instance, showed that teaching about the evidence supporting evolution helped students accept the concept of evolution in a college biology class.

Evolution in Action
Scientists have studied evolution by looking in the past, analyzing fossils and comparing species. They also study living organisms. But evolution isn't just something that happened in the past, it's an ongoing process, taking place right now. Bacteria mutate and resist antibiotics, viruses reinvent themselves and escape new drugs, 바카라 에볼루션 and animals adapt their behavior in response to the changing environment. The changes that result are often evident.
It wasn't until late 1980s that biologists understood that natural selection could be observed in action as well. The reason is that different 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 an allele - the genetic sequence that determines colour was found in a group of organisms that interbred, it could become more prevalent than any other allele. As time passes, that could mean 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 observe evolutionary change when an organism, like bacteria, has a high generation turnover. Since 1988, Richard Lenski, a biologist, has studied twelve populations of E.coli that are descended from one strain. Samples from each population were taken regularly and more than 500.000 generations of E.coli have passed.
Lenski's work has shown that mutations can alter the rate of change and the effectiveness at which a population reproduces. It also demonstrates that evolution takes time, a fact that many find difficult to accept.
Microevolution can be observed in the fact that mosquito genes for pesticide resistance are more prevalent in populations where insecticides are used. Pesticides create an exclusive pressure that favors those with resistant genotypes.
The rapidity of evolution has led to a greater appreciation of its importance especially in a planet which is largely shaped by human activities. This includes pollution, climate change, and habitat loss that prevents many species from adapting. Understanding evolution can aid you in making better decisions regarding the future of the planet and its inhabitants.
