BIOL 3350: Evolutionary Biology
School: Clemson University (Clemson )
-
Pages: 3Discussion on how humans evolved from apes and how we shared a last common ancestor with chimpanzees.
-
Pages: 4Continue the discussion on the different ways of speciation. Special emphasis on real life examples.
-
Pages: 4Discussion on the different ways the term "species" is determined through three major concepts.
-
Pages: 2Discussion of phenetics versus cladistics. Then introduction to phlyogeography.
-
Pages: 3Discussion of influenza and other viruses and how they are transmitted from one host to another.
-
Pages: 3Finishing the discussion from last lecture on kin selection. Begin to discuss the evolution of bacteria and antibiotic resistance.
-
Pages: 3Discussion of how social behavior leads to cooperation and conflict. Specifically using Hamilton's Rule to assess social behavior and kin selection.
-
Pages: 4Discussion of how males and females fight for mates or choose mates as well as what factors cause the mates to be attracted to each other.
-
Pages: 5Discussion of Darwin's observations on sexual selection as well as Bateman's experiment. Compare the differences in investment of both males and females in their offspring.
-
Pages: 3Discussion on how the forces of selection, drift, and gene flow all interact and affect the allele frequencies and genotype frequencies of a population. Also, much discussion on inbreeding and its effects.
-
Pages: 3Discussion on the factors affecting evolution and changes in allele frequencies in small populations.
-
Pages: 3Discussion on how migration and gene flow affect the allele frequencies and genotype frequencies in various populations.
-
Pages: 4Discussion of how quickly mutation are introduced into population and the effects of overdominance versus underdominance. Also addressing various real life examples and how natural selection favors or selects against certain mutations.
-
Pages: 2Discussion on how natural selection and evolution shift allele frequencies from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
-
Pages: 3Discussion of the various components and assumptions of the Hardy-Weinburg Equilibrium equation and how to relates to evolution.
-
Pages: 5Discussion on the various ways in which mutations can arise in populations and their differing effects on these populations. Also addresses how to measure and compare the variation between different populations and lineages of species.
-
Pages: 6Discussion on the different types of selection that can occur in populations. Also distinguishing between the various types of genetic mutations that can occur during development.
-
Pages: 4Discussion on the contributions to the ideas of evolution, natural selection, and speciation from Darwin and Mendel.
-
Pages: 3Discussion on how Darwin and Wallace both came up with similar ideas on natural selection and how it works on individuals not groups.
-
Pages: 3Breakdown of the different parts of a scientific paper if the first part of the lecture. The second part was a discussion on the pigment molecules and the genetics behind the fur color of beach mice.
-
Pages: 4Early Ideas about species, natural selection, and how evolution works.
-
Pages: 4Different types of radiometric dating and how common ancestry, homologous, and analogous structures show evolution.
-
Pages: 4Evolution based on fossils, rock layers, various principles and hypotheses.
-
Pages: 3Evolution occurs at both macroevolution and microevolution scales but both cause change.
