The Academy's Evolution Site
The concept of biological evolution is a fundamental concept in biology. The Academies have been active for a long time in helping people who are interested in science comprehend the theory of evolution and how it permeates all areas of scientific exploration.
This site offers a variety of sources for teachers, students, and general readers on evolution. It has key video clips from NOVA and the WGBH-produced science programs on DVD.
Tree of Life
The Tree of Life, an ancient symbol, symbolizes the interconnectedness of all life. It appears in many religions and cultures as a symbol of unity and love. It has many practical applications as well, such as providing a framework to understand the history of species and how they respond to changes in environmental conditions.
Early approaches to depicting the biological world focused on the classification of species into distinct categories that had been identified by their physical and 에볼루션코리아 metabolic characteristics1. These methods, which rely on the sampling of different parts of organisms or DNA fragments have significantly increased the diversity of a tree of Life2. However the trees are mostly made up of eukaryotes. Bacterial diversity is not represented in a large way3,4.
By avoiding the need for direct observation and experimentation, 에볼루션 게이밍 genetic techniques have enabled us to depict the Tree of Life in a more precise way. Particularly, molecular techniques allow us to construct trees by using sequenced markers, such as the small subunit ribosomal gene.
Despite the dramatic expansion of the Tree of Life through genome sequencing, a large amount of biodiversity is waiting to be discovered. This is especially the case for microorganisms which are difficult to cultivate, and 에볼루션 코리아 - 29Sixservices.in, which are usually only found in a single specimen5. A recent analysis of all genomes has produced an initial draft of the Tree of Life. This includes a variety of bacteria, archaea and other organisms that have not yet been isolated or their diversity is not thoroughly understood6.
This expanded Tree of Life can be used to determine the diversity of a specific region and determine if certain habitats need special protection. The information can be used in a variety of ways, from identifying the most effective treatments to fight disease to improving the quality of crops. This information is also extremely beneficial for conservation efforts. It can aid biologists in identifying the areas most likely to contain cryptic species with important metabolic functions that may be at risk from anthropogenic change. Although funds to safeguard biodiversity are vital, ultimately the best way to ensure the preservation of biodiversity around the world is for more people living in developing countries to be equipped with the knowledge to act locally in order to promote conservation from within.
Phylogeny
A phylogeny (also called an evolutionary tree) depicts the relationships between organisms. Scientists can build an phylogenetic chart which shows the evolutionary relationships between taxonomic categories using molecular information and morphological differences or similarities. Phylogeny is crucial in understanding biodiversity, evolution and genetics.
A basic phylogenetic Tree (see Figure PageIndex 10 ) determines the relationship between organisms with similar traits that evolved from common ancestors. These shared traits may be analogous or homologous. Homologous traits are similar in their evolutionary origins, while analogous traits look similar, but do not share the identical origins. Scientists put similar traits into a grouping known as a clade. All members of a clade share a trait, such as amniotic egg production. They all came from an ancestor with these eggs. The clades then join to create a phylogenetic tree to determine which organisms have the closest connection to each other.
To create a more thorough and accurate phylogenetic tree scientists rely on molecular information from DNA or RNA to determine the relationships between organisms. This data is more precise than morphological data and gives evidence of the evolutionary background of an organism or group. Researchers can use Molecular Data to estimate the evolutionary age of organisms and determine how many species share a common ancestor.
The phylogenetic relationships of a species can be affected by a variety of factors that include phenotypicplasticity. This is a kind of behaviour that can change due to specific environmental conditions. This can cause a trait to appear more similar to a species than another, obscuring the phylogenetic signals. This issue can be cured by using cladistics, which is a an amalgamation of homologous and analogous features in the tree.
Furthermore, phylogenetics may help predict the length and speed of speciation. This information can assist conservation biologists decide the species they should safeguard from the threat of extinction. In the end, it's the preservation of phylogenetic diversity that will lead to an ecologically balanced and complete ecosystem.
Evolutionary Theory
The central theme in evolution is that organisms change over time as a result of their interactions with their environment. 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 in accordance with its requirements and needs, 에볼루션 무료체험 (Dmatter.Net) the Swedish botanist Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) who conceived the modern hierarchical taxonomy Jean-Baptiste Lamarck (1744-1829) who suggested that the use or misuse of traits causes changes that can 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 current evolutionary theory synthesis, which defines how evolution is triggered by the variations of genes within a population and 에볼루션코리아 how these variants change in time due to natural selection. This model, which includes mutations, genetic drift in gene flow, and sexual selection is mathematically described mathematically.
Recent developments in the field of evolutionary developmental biology have shown that variation can be introduced into a species by mutation, genetic drift, and reshuffling genes during sexual reproduction, as well as through migration between populations. These processes, along with others such as directionally-selected selection and erosion of genes (changes to the frequency of genotypes over time) can lead to evolution. Evolution is defined by changes in the genome over time and changes in the phenotype (the expression of genotypes in individuals).
Students can better understand the concept of phylogeny through incorporating evolutionary thinking throughout all aspects of biology. A recent study by Grunspan and colleagues, for instance, showed that teaching about the evidence that supports evolution increased students' acceptance of evolution in a college-level biology course.

Evolution in Action
Scientists have studied evolution through looking back in the past, studying fossils, and comparing species. They also observe living organisms. Evolution isn't a flims event; it is an ongoing process. Bacteria transform and resist antibiotics, viruses reinvent themselves and elude new medications, and animals adapt their behavior to the changing climate. The changes that occur are often apparent.
It wasn't until the 1980s that biologists began to realize that natural selection was in action. The key is that various characteristics result in different rates of survival and reproduction (differential fitness) and are passed from one generation to the next.
In the past, if one particular allele - the genetic sequence that determines coloration--appeared in a group of interbreeding organisms, it could quickly become more common than other alleles. In time, this could mean that the number of moths that have black pigmentation may 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, as with bacteria. Since 1988, Richard Lenski, a biologist, has studied twelve populations of E.coli that descend from one strain. The samples of each population have been collected frequently and more than 500.000 generations of E.coli have been observed to have passed.
Lenski's research has shown that a mutation can profoundly alter the rate at which a population reproduces--and so, the rate at which it changes. It also shows evolution takes time, something that is difficult for some to accept.
Another example of microevolution is how mosquito genes for resistance to pesticides are more prevalent in areas in which insecticides are utilized. Pesticides create an enticement that favors individuals who have resistant genotypes.
The rapidity of evolution has led to a growing awareness of its significance especially in a planet that is largely shaped by human activity. This includes pollution, climate change, and habitat loss, which prevents many species from adapting. Understanding evolution will help us make better decisions regarding the future of our planet, as well as the life of its inhabitants.
