This video showcases the work of mathematician-turned-biologist Corina Tarnita, who uses quantitative approaches to understand the role of termite mounds in the savanna ecosystem.

This film tells the story of the scientists and the evidence involved in one of the most important scientific quests of the 20th century: the discovery of the structure of DNA.

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 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 the eukaryotic regulation of gene expression and its role in the development of plants and animals. It can be used in AP/IB Biology and undergraduate college courses.

This playlist can be used to teach several core topics in evolution by exploring examples of lizard species evolution and the effects of mass extinctions on tetrapod evolution. It can be used in undergraduate biology 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.

This playlist can be used to teach several core concepts of population dynamics and trophic cascades through three diverse ecological examples: wolves in Isle Royale, Michigan; rinderpest and wildebeest in Tanzania; and cougars in Zion National Park, Utah. It can be used in general biology and environmental high school courses.
