The Academy's Evolution Site
Biological evolution is a central concept in biology. The Academies are involved in helping those who are interested in science understand evolution theory and how it can be applied in all areas of scientific research.
This site provides students, teachers and general readers with a variety of learning resources on evolution. It includes key video clips from NOVA and WGBH's science programs on DVD.
Tree of Life
The Tree of Life, an ancient symbol, represents the interconnectedness of all life. It is seen in a variety of religions and cultures as symbolizing unity and love. It can be used in many practical ways as well, including providing a framework to understand the evolution of species and how they respond to changing environmental conditions.
Early approaches to depicting the biological world focused on separating organisms into distinct categories which had been distinguished by their physical and metabolic characteristics1. These methods, which rely on the sampling of different parts of living organisms or sequences of short DNA fragments, greatly increased the variety of organisms that could be included in a tree of life2. The trees are mostly composed of eukaryotes, while the diversity of bacterial species is greatly underrepresented3,4.
By avoiding the necessity for direct observation and experimentation genetic techniques have enabled us to depict the Tree of Life in a more precise way. Particularly, molecular techniques enable us to create trees by using sequenced markers like the small subunit ribosomal gene.
The Tree of Life has been significantly expanded by genome sequencing. However, there is still much diversity to be discovered. This is especially true of microorganisms that are difficult to cultivate and are typically only found in a single specimen5. A recent analysis of all genomes known to date has created a rough draft of the Tree of Life, including a large number of archaea and bacteria that are not isolated and whose diversity is poorly understood6.
This expanded Tree of Life is particularly beneficial in assessing the biodiversity of an area, assisting to determine if certain habitats require protection. This information can be utilized in a range of ways, from identifying new treatments to fight disease to improving crops. This information is also valuable to conservation efforts. It can aid biologists in identifying areas most likely to be home to cryptic species, which may perform important metabolic functions, and could be susceptible to human-induced change. While funds to safeguard biodiversity are vital, ultimately the best way to ensure the preservation of biodiversity around the world is for more people in developing countries to be equipped with the knowledge to act locally in order to promote conservation from within.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny, also known as an evolutionary tree, illustrates the connections between various groups of organisms. Scientists can build a phylogenetic diagram that illustrates the evolutionary relationship of taxonomic groups based on molecular data and morphological similarities or differences. Phylogeny is essential in understanding evolution, biodiversity and genetics.
A basic phylogenetic tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 Determines the relationship between organisms with similar traits and evolved from an ancestor with common traits. These shared traits may be analogous, 에볼루션 룰렛 바카라사이트 (yogaasanas.Science) or homologous. Homologous traits are similar in their evolutionary journey. Analogous traits might appear like they are, but they do not share the same origins. Scientists organize similar traits into a grouping called a Clade. Every organism in a group have a common trait, such as amniotic egg production. They all evolved from an ancestor who had these eggs. The clades then join to form a phylogenetic branch that can identify organisms that have the closest relationship.
For a more precise and precise phylogenetic tree scientists make use of molecular data from DNA or RNA to determine the connections between organisms. This information is more precise than morphological data and provides evidence of the evolutionary history of an organism or group. Molecular data allows researchers to determine the number of organisms who share the same ancestor and estimate their evolutionary age.
The phylogenetic relationship can be affected by a number of factors such as the phenotypic plasticity. This is 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, 에볼루션 블랙잭 무료체험 [m.414500.cc] obscuring the phylogenetic signal. However, this issue can be cured by the use of methods such as cladistics which combine homologous and analogous features into the tree.
Additionally, phylogenetics can help predict the duration and rate at which speciation takes place. This information can aid conservation biologists to decide the species they should safeguard from the threat of extinction. In the end, it's the preservation of phylogenetic diversity which will create a complete and balanced ecosystem.
Evolutionary Theory
The fundamental concept in evolution is that organisms alter over time because of their interactions with their environment. A variety of theories about evolution have been developed by a variety of scientists, including the Islamic naturalist Nasir al-Din al-Tusi (1201-1274) who envisioned an organism developing slowly in accordance with its requirements and needs, the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) who developed the modern hierarchical taxonomy Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) who suggested that the use or non-use of traits can cause changes that could be passed on to 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 that explains how evolution is triggered by the variation of genes within a population and how these variants change over time as a result of natural selection. This model, which encompasses genetic drift, mutations as well as gene flow and sexual selection can be mathematically described mathematically.
Recent developments in evolutionary developmental biology have shown how variation can be introduced to a species via genetic drift, mutations and reshuffling of genes during sexual reproduction and migration between populations. These processes, along with other ones like directional selection and genetic erosion (changes in the frequency of a genotype over time) can result in evolution that is defined as change in the genome of the species over time, and also by changes in phenotype as time passes (the expression of the genotype in the individual).
Incorporating evolutionary thinking into all aspects of biology education can increase students' understanding of phylogeny and evolutionary. In a study by Grunspan and colleagues. It was demonstrated that teaching students about the evidence for evolution boosted their acceptance of evolution during the course of a college biology. For more information about how to teach evolution, see The Evolutionary Potential in all Areas of Biology or Thinking Evolutionarily as a Framework for Integrating Evolution into Life Sciences Education.
Evolution in Action
Scientists have traditionally looked at evolution through the past, studying fossils, and comparing species. They also observe living organisms. But evolution isn't a thing that happened in the past, it's an ongoing process, that is taking place today. Bacteria evolve and resist antibiotics, viruses evolve and elude new medications and animals change their behavior to the changing environment. The results are usually visible.
It wasn't until late 1980s that biologists began realize that natural selection was also at work. The key is that various characteristics result in 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 determines coloration--appeared in a population of interbreeding species, it could rapidly become more common than other alleles. Over time, that would mean that the number of black moths in a population could increase. 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 species has a rapid generation turnover like bacteria. Since 1988, Richard Lenski, a biologist, has tracked twelve populations of E.coli that descend from a single strain. The samples of each population were taken regularly, and more than 500.000 generations of E.coli have passed.
Lenski's research has shown that a mutation can dramatically alter the efficiency with which a population reproduces--and so, the rate at which it alters. It also shows that evolution takes time, which is hard for some to accept.
Another example of microevolution is the way mosquito genes for resistance to pesticides appear more frequently in areas where insecticides are employed. This is due to the fact that the use of pesticides creates a selective pressure that favors people with resistant genotypes.
The rapidity of evolution has led to an increasing recognition of its importance particularly in a world which is largely shaped by human activities. This includes climate change, pollution, and habitat loss, which prevents many species from adapting. Understanding the evolution process can help you make better decisions about the future of the planet and its inhabitants.
