Evolutionary Biology: Where Do We Go Now?

Evolutionary Biology: Where Do We Go Now? Video A video micro-lecture that describes different ways in which climate change affects behaviour, morphology, and physiology of organisms. This video lecture by Dr. George Gilchrist, Professor of Biology at the College of William and Mary, on evolutionary adaptation highlights the difference between environmental adaptation and phenotypic plasticity, […]

Phenotypic Plasticity: Coping with Climate Change

Phenotypic Plasticity: Coping with Climate Change Overview As a high school or undergraduate Biological Sciences teacher, you can use this set of computer-based tools to teach about phenotypic plasticity in living organisms, as a response to environmental fluctuations. This lesson plan allows students to understand the concept of phenotypic plasticity and to differentiate between acclimation […]
