This video follows germplasm bank coordinator Cristian Zavala Espinosa and geneticist Sarah Hearne, who are part of the global effort to preserve the genetic diversity of maize (corn).

This video follows biologist Elinor Karlsson, who studies dogs to find genes associated with traits, including certain diseases.

This video follows scientists working in Bangladesh as they test fruit bat populations to determine whether they are infected with Nipah virus, a potentially deadly human pathogen.

This film explores what our hair, teeth, and hearing reveal about our evolution from ancient reptilian ancestors.

This film explores how the genetic and anatomical legacy of a fish can be seen today in the human body.

This film explores the genetic and archaeological evidence that suggest that corn is the result of the domestication of a wild Mexican grass called teosinte.

This video shows the reactions of first-grade students to a replica of a Tiktaalik fossil.

This animation shows how disrupting cellular processes in the intestines can lead to colon cancer.

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 film tells the story of the scientific quest to explain one of the greatest, long-standing scientific mysteries: the sudden disappearance of the dinosaurs at the end of the Cretaceous period.
