Teaching Evolution Through Inquiry-Based Lessons of Uncontroversial Science.The article presents a science activity designed to help middle school biology students understand the concept of evolution through natural selection. The experiments use fossils to help students understand scientific methods used by...
When field experiments yield unexpected results: lessons learned from measuring selection in White Sands lizards. Determining the adaptive significance of phenotypic traits is key for understanding evolution and diversification in natural populations. However, evolutio... M Kayla,Hardwick,J Luke,... - ...
namely variation, inheritance, and natural selection, and effective interventions to use these conceptions as stepping stones, or conversely, to overcome them in order to develop a scientific understanding of evolution. Authors highlight that there might be complex...
The theory of evolution by natural selection is contrasted in the media, and in some schools, with creationist ideas, in which the diversity of life on Earth is said to be the result of direct species-by-species creation, not of evolution. More recently, the Intelligent Design movement has ...
that the ways in which natural and sexual selection operate on each sex depends on the reproductive roles and mating system, breeding strategy, and environment, which influence whether selection is concordant or antagonistic between the sexes. Whether, and in which POLS traits, sex differences evolve...
Self‐incompatibility (SI) is a self‐recognition genetic system enforcing outcrossing in hermaphroditic flowering plants and results in one of the arguably best understood forms of natural (balancing) selection maintaining genetic variation over long evolutionary times. A rich theoretical and empirical ...

The theory of evolution by natural selection was put forward in the 1850s independently by two men. One was Charles Darwin; the other was Alfred Russel Wallace. Both men had some scientific background, of course, but at heart both men were ..
