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 tells the story of the ecologists who first documented the role of keystone species in ecosystem regulation.

This film explores the genetic and archaeological evidence that suggest that corn is the result of the domestication of a wild Mexican grass called teosinte.

This film describes natural selection and adaptation in populations of rock pocket mice living in the American Southwest.

This animation shows how a mutation that allows adult humans to digest milk can be lost or spread under different circumstances.

This video explores how people developed the different breeds of dogs that exist today through selective breeding.

This video explores the evolution of a stickleback fish population over tens of thousands of years, based on fossil data.

This animation shows how quickly an advantageous mutation can spread through a mouse population over multiple generations.

This video provides a demonstration of differences between sexual reproduction, which involves recombination through meiosis, and asexual reproduction, which does not.

This playlist can be used to teach several core topics in ecology by connecting students to actual research being conducted in Gorongosa National Park in Mozambique. It can be used in general high school biology and environmental science courses.

This playlist can be used in an online, undergraduate (majors-level) introductory biology lab to incorporate core topics in evolution, diversity of life, and ecology.
