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 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 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 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 animation shows how quickly an advantageous mutation can spread through a mouse population over multiple generations.

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.

This playlist can be used to teach concepts in geology and evolution using mass extinction events. It can be used in general high school biology, environmental science, and earth science courses.

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 to teach several core concepts in math and statistics using standard spreadsheet software, such as Microsoft Excel or Google Sheets, and actual research on Galapágos finches. It can be used in AP/IB Biology and undergraduate college courses.
