This film begins with phenomena linked to climate change and then examines how Earth’s temperature is controlled, how we know it is changing, and how the current changes compare to those over the last 800,000 years.

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 animation provides an overview of the greenhouse effect, a process that warms the atmosphere and surface of Earth.

This animation explores how carbon enters the atmosphere and can be removed through a series of chemical reactions.

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.
