Khan Academy: Biodiversity and Extinction, Then and Now
How common is species extinction? Some is always happening. But over geologic time, biodiversity has increased despite several mass extinction events. Humans are now driving a mass extinction of biodiversity. [12:21]

Bozeman Science: Behavior and Natural Selection
Paul Andersen explains how the behavior of various organisms is shaped by natural selection. The action of phototropism and the timing of photoperiodism have both been shaped by the relative availability of light. Courtship in the bower...

Bozeman Science: Social Interactions & Group Behavior
In this video, Paul Andersen explains the importance of social interactions and group behavior. Organisms live in groups because it overs them greater success and has been selected for through natural selection. Some groups are stable...

Bozeman Science: Microevolution
Paul Andersen defines microevolution as any change in the frequency of the allele pool. He then explains the five mechanisms of evolution; small sample size, non-random mating, mutations, gene flow and natural selection.

Bozeman Science: Selection
Paul Andersen explains the importance of selection in biology. Artificial selection occurs when humans choose traits that will be selected for or against. This has created the variety of domesticated animals and crops. He then describes...

Bozeman Science: Evolution Continues
Paul Andersen explains how life has evolved and continues to evolve today. A brief discussion of artificial, natural and sexual selection is included. The beak of the finch is used to explain how directional selection is achieved.
