A number of questions are embedded within the short film The Origin of Species: The Beak of the Finch, which explores four decades of research on the evolution of the Galápagos finches.

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 interactive module explores the circulatory systems of major vertebrate groups to gain insights into their evolution.

This interactive, modular lab explores the evolution of the anole lizards in the Caribbean through data collection and analysis.

This animation shows how a single species can give rise to many different species with distinct traits, using anole lizards as an example.

This interactive module allows students to explore concepts related to speciation by identifying which birds belong to one of two finch species.

This film explores four decades of research on the evolution of Galápagos finches, which has illuminated how species form and diversify.

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 zebrafish can rapidly heal wounds to the heart.

This animation shows how the protein MECP2 helps switch off gene expression.

This animation shows how X chromosomes are randomly switched off in most female mammals.
