Students observe Columbine populations split and diverge while an expanding evolutionary tree illustrates each population\'s history. Students further learn to interpret evolutionary trees by creating their own and reconstructing the history of mystery populations.  Suitable for both introductory and advanced biology and evolution courses.\r\n\x3c/span\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e\n\x3cbr/\x3e\n\x3cstrong\x3eLevel\x3c/strong\x3e: Intro\x3cbr/\x3e\n\x3cstrong\x3eKey Concepts\x3c/strong\x3e: Evolutionary trees; Neutral evolution; Phylogenetic reconstruction; Tree-thinking\x3cbr/\x3e\n\x3cstrong\x3eCourses\x3c/strong\x3e: Evolution; Intro Bio: Eco/Evo/Genetics; Intro Bio: Non-majors; Macroevolution\x3cbr/\x3e\n  \x3cstrong\x3eReviews:\x3c/strong\x3e\x3cbr /\x3e\n  \x3c/span\x3e \x3c!-- /description --\x3e\n\n        \n    \x3cblockquote\x3e\x3cem\x3e\x26quot;I just wanted to let you know that we\'ve completed our first lab of the three as of yesterday [Flowers and Trees]. The students thought it was \"easy\" and yet, were challenged as they continued to work through the exercises. It was not only promising, but reinvigorating for the Teaching Assistants who had taught it prior to this semester. Thank you!! We\'re looking forward to completing the next one soon.\x26quot;\x3c/em\x3e\x3cbr /\x3e\n              Dr. Faye Farmer, Arizona State University, Introductory Biology Course\x3c/blockquote\x3e\x3cbr/\x3e\n        \x3cbr/\x3e\x3ca href=\"/search_result_details/brief/71\" class=\"node_brief\"\x3eRead less\x3c/a\x3e    \x3cbr/\x3e\x3ca href=\"/cart/add/71\"\x3e + Add to course collection\x3c/a\x3e" }
