This video follows scientists working in Gorongosa National Park as they try to determine the genes responsible for tusk development in elephants.

This film explores the evolutionary connection between an infectious disease, malaria, and a genetic condition, sickle cell disease.

This video presents an intriguing phenomenon: two patients who carry the same genetic variation, which is known to cause sickle cell disease, have very different outcomes.

This asynchronous course is designed to deepen educators' content knowledge in evolution, especially regarding content appropriate for teaching at the high school level.

This film describes the scientific principles and the research efforts involved in the development of a gene therapy for a congenital form of blindness, and how a young patient benefited from this medical breakthrough.

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

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

This video shows real footage of courtship behavior of fruit flies with wing spots.

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