    Associate professor of population genetics and molecular evolution. Current research project, publications and Institute for Molecular biology and Biochemistry.  
    http://www.sfu.ca/biology/faculty/beckenbach/
    
    Extractions: Current Research Program My research is in the fields of population genetics and molecular evolution. The main focus is to understand the mechanisms of evolution at the molecular level. The approaches include both empirical studies of DNA sequence variation in vertebrates and selected invertebrate taxa and the theoretical analysis of sequence differences. Our work has primarily involved the mitochondrial genome for several reasons. In animals, it is small and extremely compact. A great deal of information on the mitochondrial genome is already available, including the complete sequences from more than 20 animal species. The genome is essentially haploid, present in many copies in cells and maternally inherited in most animal species. These features make it particularly easy to study and understand. The mitochondrial genome has been particularly useful in reconstructing the phylogenetic relationships among related species, and at higher taxonomic levels. Ultimately, however, adaptive evolution can be understood only through the study of the nuclear genome. Genetic variation among individuals of populations within species may be assessed by studying highly mutable genomic sequences, such as microsatellites. For phylogenetic analyses, above the species level, more conserved gene regions, such as those coding for protein products, must be analysed. We are conducting population level studies using analysis of mtDNA sequences and microsatellites, in an attempt to understand population structure and subdivision. Using mtDNA sequence comparisons, we are examining the phylogenetic relationships among species of Drosophila, as well as among families of true flies (Diptera) and the orders of insects.

    Extractions: Screen version Print version: Weblog Home The Theory of Evolution: Just a Theory? Previous entry Next entry May 12, 2005 Posted by William D. Rubinstein Historian Prof. William D. Rubinstein shares his doubts about the theory of evolution. He raises questions about evolution to which he seeks answers. Like most people with enquiring minds, I have at least a desultory interest in many fields beyond my own narrow specialty, including the mysteries of science. I am not a scientist, needles to say, although I think I have as much common sense as the next man and probably more in the way of an independent viewpoint than most. I have thus long been fascinated by the great dogma of the Theory of Evolution, which of course was formulated by Charles Darwin in his seminal work On the Origin of Species in 1859, probably the most important book published during the nineteenth century. The Theory of Evolution in its commonly-voiced form has long struck me as having so many dubious features that it is genuinely surprising that it has not attracted many more challenges than it actually has - although (I gather) a growing number of scientifically-trained commentators are also having their doubts. Nevertheless, there are so many deep implausibilities in the Theory of Evolution as it is commonly understood that it seems to me, as a non-scientist, that something must surely be radically wrong. Let me set out the doubts which I (and many others) have had about Evolution.

95. Louis D. Druel
    Professor of kelp evolution, genetics and agronomy. Current research and publications.  
    http://www.sfu.ca/biology/faculty/druehl/
    
    Extractions: Institute for Molecular Biology and Biochemistry Current Research Program My research focuses on the large brown algae, the kelp (Laminariales). Presently, our laboratory is concentrating on two aspects of kelp biology: 1. evolution and population genetic diversity and 2. marine agronomy. Evolution and genetic diversity are being explored using molecular tools. Our contributions are most advanced in our evolution studies. We have examined chloroplast and ribosomal DNA diversity among kelp species, genera and families, and between the kelp order Laminariales, other orders of brown algae, and other divisions of plants. These studies have provided provocative insights into kelp evolution; for example: 1. We were able to demonstrate a surprisingly close evolutionary relationship of kelp and the freshwater fungus Achlya . 2. On the basis of ribosomal and chloroplast DNA data we have proposed that the taxonomy of the Laminariales is greatly inflated and suggested a reduction of advanced families of kelp from three to one, a reduction of kelp genera from 25 to five, and a reduction of kelp species from well over 100 to 25. 3. Application of a molecular clock to our DNA data suggests kelp genetically diverged 16-22 million years ago, thus, evolving simultaneously with the modern terrestrial legumes. Earlier estimates, based on questionable fossil fragments, had these 3dinosaurs of the plant world2 diverging very much earlier.

96. The Major Transitions In Evolution (John Maynard Smith, Eors Szathmary)
    John Maynard Smith and Eors Szathmary look at a range of topics in evolutionary biology, from abiogenesis to the origins of societies and language.  
    http://dannyreviews.com/h/Major_Transitions.html
    
    Extractions: Subjects Titles Authors ... Latest Oxford University Press 1995 A book review by Danny Yee A survey of the "key events" in evolution by two leading theorists, The Major Transitions in Evolution ranges all the way from prebiotic chemistry through to the origins of society. As a result it is both scattered (though there are some themes that recur throughout) and shallow (though it tends to assume background knowledge and to start straight in on the most interesting topics). There is some fascinating material in Major Transitions and serious students of evolution won't want to miss it, but I would recommend more focused alternatives first, perhaps (from recent reading) Gerhart and Kirschner's Cells, Embryos, and Evolution , Carroll's Patterns and Processes in Vertebrate Evolution , or Dyson's Origins of Life The authors, good reductionists both, naturally start at the bottom and work their way up. A brief discussion of general concepts such as progress, complexity, and transition leads naturally into the question of what life is and a glance at non-living systems that approach it in some ways (the Oklo reactor and the chemoton). They then offer a potpourri of prebiotic chemistry (diversity without replication, the Miller-Urey experiment, surface metabolism, extraterrestrial organic chemistry) and mathematical models (replication accuracy and error thresholds, hypercycles and stochastic correctors). This leads to debates about the primacy of proteins and nucleic acids, and the origins of translation and the genetic code. (Smith and Szathm¡ry are obviously supporters of RNA-world approaches, but they give I think a fair appraisal of theories of Kauffman and Dyson based on autocatalytic protein networks.)

    Extractions: Course Description The Official Version Mechanisms and processes of evolution of biological organisms. Discussion of evolutionary principles from Darwinism to molecular evolution. 3.0 Credit Hours : 2.0 Lecture hours , 1.0 Lab hour. My 2 ¢ - The course’s official title, "Evolutionary biology" is actually redundant because the ability to evolve is what defines biological systems, so there is no such thing as non-evolutionary biology. Hopefully we all have heard of evolution before; in this course I will attempt to review the principles of evolution, and highlight the implications to other areas of life (that is, biology). My philosophy .- A university course should be a joyful, fruitful and challenging exchange of ideas. I will do everything I can to make it so, within the constraints of the system, and I hope you will do likewise. It will require a high level of diligence, hopefully competence and eventually achievement. This is a third year course, so the ability to memorize vast quantities of information will only get you half way there. Whenever possible I will emphasize comprehending concepts, not memorizing facts. You must know the facts and understand the concepts such that you are able to recognize them in different situations, and apply them in new and unexpected ways. You will be tested on your ability to extrapolate, integrate, estimate, conceptualize and hypothesize.
