Next in Evolution - The Evolution of Diversity in East African Cichlid Fishes
Offered By: Harvard University via YouTube
Course Description
Overview
Explore the fascinating world of East African cichlid fish evolution in this 24-minute Radcliffe Institute lecture. Delve into the groundbreaking research of Catherine E. Wagner, assistant professor at the University of Wyoming, as she uncovers the genetic mechanisms behind the remarkable diversity of these species. Learn how genomic data and functional variation studies are shedding light on both historical and ongoing adaptations in cichlids. Gain insights into innovative cross-disciplinary approaches in evolutionary biology and their implications for understanding species' responses to changing environments. The presentation, part of Harvard University's Next in Science series, concludes with a thought-provoking Q&A session, making it an invaluable resource for both scientists and curious non-specialists interested in cutting-edge evolutionary research.
