Intro Post

 Hello everyone! My name is Emily Davoren. I am from Overland Park, Kansas. I am a biology major starting my senior year here at KSU. I hope to become a nurse practitioner that specializes in pediatrics. I have no clue exactly where that career will take me geographically, but getting out of Kansas at some point is the goal. I love traveling and I'd love to use my career as an avenue for doing so. I am very passionate about caring for others and using medicine to do so.  I love kids and being able to work with them and improve their quality of life in any way that I can is what I believe will be most fulfilling for me. The complexity of life itself and the way organisms function has always drawn me to biology. No matter how much you know or think you know, there is always something new to uncover. It might sound nerdy, but I love that! Evolution relates to my daily life because the world I live in is constantly changing. And as that world is changing, living things are continuously adapting to survive to those changes (myself included). We evolve whether consciously, or biologically, to have the best chance of fitting into the circumstances around us. Additionally, humans weren't always as they are now. We all came from somewhere. No matter how far away the past is, we are never completely removed from it. History,  evolution, natural selection, whatever you want to call it, has all led up to this point. I hope to gain a greater understanding of evolution from this course. For the most part we all get the idea, but I'm curious about the intricate details and getting into the nitty gritty of how all this is understood. I also hope to gain a basic understanding of coding from a scientific standpoint.

    Hi Emily! I'm Madison. And I'm from OP, too! Which high school did you go to? I graduated from BVNW in 2018.

    Anyways, focusing. Sounds like you're asking the right questions when it comes to learning in this course. We'll talk a /lot/ about the nitty-gritty details of evolution - so gritty it'll get stuck in your teeth. Evolution is a helluva beast to understand, but figuring it out sure is fun! If you run into anything too thick to handle, don't be afraid to ask questions! I'm real excited to see what pops up on your blog this semester. :]

    What's good Emily. You are the definition of don't judge a book by its cover. I would of never guessed your interests and hobbies. We will have to test each other on our Japanese.

 Although selection is a major mechanism by which evolution functions, it is not even close to the only one. Selection, genetic drift, migration, mutation, non-random mating, and more play a role in creating the composition of populations. Selection may favor specific traits in organisms and then allow those to be passed on, but at any point in time the environment could shift causing those same traits to be unfavorable. And then selection will kick in once again and the allelic frequencies of that population will shift to better fit with the current circumstances. Short-term, selection might reduce genetic variation, but if you look at the big picture it really doesn't. Certain places might stay somewhat constant, but the world as a whole is constantly shifting and changing. One slight change could have major ramifications for selection and therefore the population as a whole. This isn't a one and done kind of thing.  Additionally, as I stated before, selection is only one pi...

 In most species we see males being colorful and displaying mating acts to court the females. In that case females are most often a drab dull color. However, in  Microphis deocata the exact opposite situation occurs. The female in these pipefish extend their colorful bellies when they are in breeding condition and make an accordion like movement to attract/choose a male mate. The male is actually the more drab individual. I believe the reason something like this evolves is related to the fact that male Rainbow Belly Pipefish, just like seahorses, are the ones that carry the eggs until they hatch. The male is responsible for a role that in most other species is almost always carried out by the female. The female deposits her eggs in an area on the male's underside where they will stay until they hatch. From the research I've done I found out that  Microphis deocata are actually related to seahorses. Both species belong to the  Syngnathidae family. I think it makes sen...

Option 2: This is a huge question to begin to consider. I'm definitely not sure of the answer but I will give it my best shot. An example where phenotypic plasticity could slow down evolutionary change could be the hares that are white in the winter and brown in the warmer months. These animals' ability to change their phenotype kind of cheats the system of selection in a way. Instead of either adapting to blend in or sticking out and therefore not surviving attacks from predators, they just shift back and forth between what is favorable without any hereditary aspect. Here, they don't have to evolve so the trait is stagnant. The ability to change might be passed on but the fur being brown or white is not adaptive.  An example where phenotypic plasticity could actually potentiate evolutionary change is developmental plasticity. Different offspring could be exposed to different cues at different times, therefore changes the course/speed of their development. This variation in...
