R_3_08 — Speciation Mechanisms and Reproductive Isolation

Speciation — the process by which one species splits into two or more reproductively isolated lineages — is the engine of biodiversity. Ernst Mayr's biological species concept (1942) defines species as groups of interbre

Z_1_10 — Chromosome Evolution and Karyotype

Karyotype — the number, size, and morphology of chromosomes in a cell — varies enormously across species, from n=1 in the ant Myrmecia pilosula to n=630 in the fern Ophioglossum reticulatum. Humans have 2n=46 (23 pairs),

Z_1_11 — Polyploidy and Genome Duplication

Polyploidy — the possession of more than two complete sets of chromosomes — is a major force in genome evolution, particularly in plants and some animal lineages. Susumu Ohno (1970) proposed that whole genome duplication

ZB_4_15 — Urban Wildlife Genomics: Rapid Evolution in the Anthropocene City

Cities — covering only ~3% of Earth's land surface but housing >55% of humanity — are emerging as powerful natural laboratories for studying rapid evolution in real time. Urban wildlife genomics investigates how the extr

R_2_05 — Missing Fossil Record and Punctuated Equilibrium

Darwin himself called the fossil record "the most obvious and gravest objection which can be urged against my theory" — because if evolution occurred through gradual transformation, we should find smooth transitional seq
