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

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

This film explores the adaptation of anole lizards (genus Anolis) to habitats common across the islands of the Caribbean. The anoles are excellent examples of adaptive radiation, convergent evolution, and speciation through reproductive isolation.

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

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

This animation shows how mutations can arise when DNA is damaged.

This animation explores the genetic causes and biological effects of sickle cell disease.

This animation shows how a genetically modified virus can be used to destroy cancer cells.

This animation shows how mistakes made during DNA replication are repaired by the cell.

This playlist can be used to teach several core concepts in evolution and molecular biology by connecting students to actual research on the rock pocket mouse. It can be used in a general high school biology course.

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 to teach several core concepts of natural selection and speciation by connecting students to actual research on Caribbean anoles. It can be used in AP/IB Biology and undergraduate college courses.
