Understanding Natural Selection: Essential Concepts and Common Misconceptions

T. Ryan Gregory · 8 Apr 2009

Natural selection is one of the central mechanisms of evolutionary change and is the process responsible for the evolution of adaptive features. Without a working knowledge of natural selection, it is impossible to understand how or why living things have come to exhibit their diversity and complexity. An understanding of natural selection also is becoming…

Understanding Evolutionary Trees

T. Ryan Gregory · 11 Feb 2008

Charles Darwin sketched his first evolutionary tree in 1837, and trees have remained a central metaphor in evolutionary biology up to the present. Today, phylogenetics—the science of constructing and evaluating hypotheses about historical patterns of descent in the form of evolutionary trees—has become pervasive within and increasingly outside evolutionary biology. Fostering skills in “tree thinking”…

The Importance of Understanding the Nature of Science for Accepting Evolution

Tania Lombrozo, Anastasia Thanukos, Michael Weisberg · 19 Jun 2008

Many students reject evolutionary theory, whether or not they adequately understand basic evolutionary concepts. We explore the hypothesis that accepting evolution is related to understanding the nature of science. In particular, students may be more likely to accept evolution if they understand that a scientific theory is provisional but reliable, that scientists employ diverse methods…

Changing Minds? Implications of Conceptual Change for Teaching and Learning about Biological Evolution

Gale M. Sinatra, Sarah K. Brem, E. Margaret Evans · 11 Feb 2008

Learning about biological evolution presents particular challenges for students. Barriers to learning come in the form of students’ prior conceptions that conflict with the scientific perspective of biological change. Theory and research from developmental and educational psychology provide insight into these barriers. Helping students understand evolution is not simply a matter of adding to their…

Heterochrony: the Evolution of Development

Kenneth J. McNamara · 1 Jun 2012

Abstract Heterochrony can be defined as change to the timing or rate of development relative to the ancestor. Because organisms generally change in shape as well as increase in size during their development, any variation to the duration of growth or to the rate of growth of different parts of the organism can cause morphological…
