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 interactive module allows students and educators to build models that explain how the Earth system works. The Click & Learn can be used to show how Earth is affected by human activities and natural phenomena.

This interactive module explores biomes, climate, biodiversity, and human impacts around the globe and at different times.

This interactive module allows students to use DNA profiling and related biological concepts to solve two cases of elephant poaching.

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.

A number of questions are embedded within the short film The Making of the Fittest: The Birth and Death of Genes, which illustrates how gene duplications and mutations have led to remarkable physiological adaptations in Antarctic fish.

This video provides an overview of the types of genes that, when mutated, can lead to the development of cancer.

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

This film explores how gene duplications and mutations have led to remarkable physiological adaptations in Antarctic fish.

This tutorial describes three examples of recent human adaptations: lactose tolerance, sickle cell disease, and bitter taste perception.
