PART 1: Question 1 Describe the differences between divergent evolution‚ convergent evolution and parallel evolution and provide an example for each type of evolution. Divergent evolution occurs when change from a common ancestral species increases as time passes‚ leading to a speciation event; that is‚ the evolution of two new species. Convergent evolution on the other hand differs from divergent evolution because it is the development of similar features separately in unrelated groups of organisms

Ecology and Evolution Crystal Dillon-Reeves BIO/315 April 1‚ 2013 Howard Rubin‚ Ph.D. Ecology and Evolution Beren Robinson performed remarkable field study of threespine sticklebacks. These fish closely relate to ecology and evolution. The researchers original findings are different than that of Robinson’s field study. His hypothesis states that the threespine sticklebacks varied phenotypes are the handiwork of natural selection supporting the discrepancy in the population. Diet and the

The Population Problem Two hundred years ago‚ Thomas Malthus‚ in An Essay on the Principle of Population‚ reached the conclusion that the number of people in the world will increase exponentially‚ while the ability to feed these people will only increase arithmetically (21). Current evidence shows that this theory may not be far from the truth. For example‚ between 1950 and 1984‚ the total amount of grain produced more than doubled‚ much more than the increase in population in those 34 years.

Surprisingly‚ though‚ virtually no e-communication theory looked at the role that biology or‚ more specifically‚ our biological communication apparatus‚ may have on behavior toward e-communication tools. The goal of this paper is to try to fill this gap by looking at how we evolved our biological communication apparatus‚ which seems

Braden Anderson October 15‚ 2008 Macro-Evolution The theory of macro-evolution is one of the most debated topics in modern day society. Macro-evolution is the changing of one species to another‚ and the Big Bang Theory is tied in with it. Theories such as man evolves from apes and the universe coming from a large explosion‚ called the Big Bang‚ have been debated against creationists who believe in creation from a supernatural being. Evolution‚ I believe‚ is false because it lacks the
