This video follows an international team of researchers as they collect data to map migratory bird populations in the US and Mexico.

This video follows germplasm bank coordinator Cristian Zavala Espinosa and geneticist Sarah Hearne, who are part of the global effort to preserve the genetic diversity of maize (corn).

This video follows biologist Elinor Karlsson, who studies dogs to find genes associated with traits, including certain diseases.

This film begins with phenomena linked to climate change and then examines how Earth’s temperature is controlled, how we know it is changing, and how the current changes compare to those over the last 800,000 years.

This short video explores how the symbiotic relationship between certain plants and fungi allows these organisms to survive in very hot temperatures.

This video describes the technology of metabarcoding, which allows scientists to determine herbivore diets based on the sequences of plant DNA extracted from animal dung.

This video describes the work of biologists Steve Palumbi and Megan Morikawa, who use field and controlled experiments to understand the mechanisms that allow some corals to tolerate a greater amount of heat stress than other corals.

This video follows biologist Liz Hadly in Yellowstone National Park as she discusses how ecosystems are threatened by warming temperatures.

This animation zooms into a coral reef to explore the tiny animals that build reefs, the photosynthetic algae inside their cells, and the damaging process of coral bleaching.

This video explores how advances in DNA sequencing technology have improved cancer diagnosis and treatment.

This animation provides an overview of the greenhouse effect, a process that warms the atmosphere and surface of Earth.

This animation describes how only a small part of the human genome directly codes for proteins.
