62. Douglas R. Taylor - Evolutionary Biology Doug Taylor s research group at the University of Virginia is conducting research into plant reproductive systems to address broader evolutionary issues and using invasive species as models for the evolution of geographic range expansion. http://people.virginia.edu/~drt3b/index.php

Home Research People Teaching ... Links Welcome to the Taylor Lab - Evolution and Population Genetics Most of our work involves the study of plant reproductive systems to address broader evolutionary issues. We are studying the population genetics and molecular evolution of plant organelle genomes. We are using invasive species as models for the evolution of geographic range expansion. A central focus of ours is to understand how evolution is influenced by the fact that populations are distributed in space (population structure). Several projects focus on how selection at one level or organization subsumes, or is subsumed by, selection at higher levels of organization...so-called "levels of selection". This hasled us into studies of genetic conflict such as epidemics of selfish genes within natural populations and mitochondrial diseases that result from the accumulation of parasitic organelles within cells. Students generally develop their own research programs so the research going on in the lab is diverse. Follow the research links for details of our projects. Positions Open We have positions currently open for a post-doctoral associate and two research technicians. We are always interested in attracting motivated grad students and undergrads seeking research experiences. email Doug to apply

67. Population Genetics Breeding by John Armstrong Early genetics When Mendel's work was rediscovered at the beginning of the twentieth century, the new field of Genetics went in several directions. http://www.canine-genetics.com/pgbreed.htm

The Canine Diversity Project Population Genetics and Breeding by John Armstrong Early genetics This does not imply an endorsement of random mating, but was simply a starting point for the eventual development of equations to describe other situations. Most natural populations do not follow these rules. In nature, selection is often harsh, and most animals do not practice random mating. In many species that live in packs or herds, only the dominant male may breed and competition for that spot may be intense. Otherwise, the most common practice is probably assortative mating, where mates are chosen that have similar qualities (size, temperament, etc.) or are not closely related (negative assortative mating). How they decide on the latter is still being determined, but recognition of relatives probably depends on pheromones to a large extent. Genetics without color In the beginning, all geneticists held to much the same beliefs, or "model"– that there was one, and only one, good (or "wild-type") version of each gene. There were also a few nasty recessive mutants that would occasionally surface. They didn't really expect to find a large amount of diversity for most genes. They lived in a black-and-white world where genes were like light switches – either on or off, no in-between. As most of the bad mutations appeared to be recessive, good breeding was reduced to finding ways of efficiently identifying those carrying "degeneracies". Faith in inbreeding as a method for breeding the perfect individual was reinforced by various authors:

68. A Creation Perspective David Plaisted presents evidence that life is young with emphasis on populations genetics. Includes a testable theory of creationism and a precise boundary between micro and macro evolution. http://tasc-creationscience.org/other/plaisted/www.cs.unc.edu/_plaisted/ce/index

A Creation Perspective By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, and all their host by the breath of his mouth. Psalm 33:6 The theory of evolution explains the origin of all life on earth by ordinary physical and chemical processes. This theory has been very well developed, and has considerable intellectual appeal. However, for one who interprets the Christian Bible literally, there are apparent contradictions between evolution and the account in Genesis. This page shows how it is possible to reconcile a literal reading of Genesis with a surprising amount of the scientific evidence. We do not mean to criticize those who support the theory of evolution, but for one who is willing to accept the possibility of supernatural intervention, we believe that a creation theory is an acceptable alternative.

M o n a r c h W a t c h Biology BIOLOGY Anatomy Sexing Monarchs Life ... Population Population Genetics Theories in Population Genetics Home ... Order Population Genetics Many people wonder whether the butterflies that spend the summer in Minnesota or New York or Ontario stay together when they migrate to Mexico for the winter. There are a couple ways scientists have studied this question. One is the tagging project in which many of you participate. Tagging helps us trace where individual Monarchs go. By tracking many individuals over time, we will hopefully get a good picture of how whole groups of Monarchs move throughout the year. Another way to answer this question involves looking at the population genetics of Monarchs. Population genetics, which combines theories from evolution and genetics, studies how genes are distributed in a population. By using the tools of population genetics, biologists can evaluate the distribution of genes in Monarch populations to get a better idea of how groups of Monarchs move around and mate. Some distributions would indicate that Monarchs stick together in groups and tend to mate within their own group, while other distributions would show that Monarch populations mix either in the summer, in the winter, or during both times. Two experiments have investigated the population genetics of Monarch butterflies, and they found some interesting and surprising results. To help you better understand the ideas behind those studies, we encourage you to go review

Chicago Zoological Society Search Brookfield Zoo About CZS Animal Care Conservation Leadership ... Support the Society Population Genetics Since its inception in 1985, the Chicago Zoological Society’s Population Genetics Program has played a pivotal role in promoting species health and survival. Under the leadership of Dr. Robert Lacy, a softwarecalled VORTEXhas been used to facilitate virtually all cooperatively-managed zoo breeding programs around the world. Population Genetics was created to address an often-ignored threat to the survival of endangered species: the loss of genetic diversity due to inbreeding. As populations dwindle or are separated by habitat devastation, the pool of available mates shrinks, and so does the pool of genetic variations available to future generations. Population Genetics takes a long-term view of species survival. Its goal is not just to ensure that threatened species reproduce, but also that they pass on the genetic variations necessary to ensure the adaptability of the species. The program has been an international trailblazer, giving wildlife conservationists around the globe a detailed understanding of the effects of inbreeding and offering data gathered from computer models for use in preserving the widest possible genetic diversity.

Download Lesson Plan in Word Format View Lesson Plan in PDF Format POPULATION GENETICS Time: One or two 50-minute class periods Grade Level: Objectives: To understand the basics of evolution by natural selection. To calculate allele frequencies as they relate to inheritance. To understand the Hardy-Weinberg Law and how evolution takes place when this law is not in place. Idaho Achievement Standards: Materials: Background: Students will review some basic genetic principles of inheritance and will review genetic terms such as allele, homozygous, heterozygous, dominant, recessive, gene pool. Procedures: Warm-up. Students will test their ability to taste PTC molecule by using a test strip with the molecule on it. If students taste the strip especially strongly, this indicates they carry two copies of the dominant gene, if only slightly then one copy, and if not at all, then no copy. Have students calculate genotype and allele frequencies of the class "gene pool." Activity: Students will do three simulations that will demonstrate the principles of inheritance. The first simulation will demonstrate genetic equilibrium (the Hardy Weinberg Law), the second will demonstrate genetic drift, and the third will demonstrate a lethal recessive. All three simulations will be recorded on data sheets and the results will be plotted on a graph to show the results visually.

Near Matches Ignore Exact Everything Population genetics idea by The Other Dan Mon Jan 22 2001 at 14:58:14 Population genetics is concerned with the genetic basis of evolution . The objects of study in population genetics are typically the frequencies and fitnesses of genotypes in a population. In the population genetics sense, evolution is the change of genotype frequencies over time, which may or may not be due to natural selection . The time scale of evolution is an exceedingly long one, so it is difficult to follow much genetic change in populations. Rather, population genetics is driven by constructing mathematical models of evolution and then checking if their predictions are met by natural populations. In a 1991 commentary in the journal Genetics Richard Lewinton wrote: "When I entered Theodosius Dobzhansky's laboratory as a graduate student in 1951, the problematic of population genetics was the description and explanation of genetic variation within and between populations. That remains the problematic 40 years later in 1991." It is no less central to the field in 2001.

Population Genetics Purpose: What percentage of a population have inherited traits such as attached earlobes, widow's peak, and hitch-hiker's thumb? Do the percentages your class post in this collaborative project display the expected genetic statistics? This project is designed by Science Educators from Georgia State University who realize the need to collaboratively collect and analyze scientific data on a broader scope. The particpants may be science educators, or educators from other disciplines...since we all have inherited traits that are recognizeable easily described, and interesting to analyze. Procedure: We will observe and compile data on: Attached Ear lobes Cheek Dimples Tongue Curling Hitch Hiker's Thumb ... Cleft Chin Handclasping Widow's peak Right or Left Handed We will use the Inherited Traits Worksheet to record our observations in pairs, and then compile data for groups of ten. We will then post our data on the CLEO Online Collaborative Project.
