What is Natural Selection?01:32

What is Natural Selection?

128.9K
Natural selection is an evolutionary process in which individuals with survival-promoting traits reproduce at higher rates. These favorable traits become more common within a population or species. Naturally selected traits initially arise via random genetic mutations. In order for selection to occur, there must be variation within a population, the trait controlling the variation must be heritable, and there must be an evolutionary advantage for variation in the trait.

Nature and Nurture01:10

Nature and Nurture

22.3K
Many human characteristics, like height, are shaped by both nature—in other words, by our genes—and by nurture, or our environment. For example, chronic stress during childhood inhibits the production of growth hormones and consequently reduces bone growth and height. Scientists estimate that 70-90% of variation in height is due to genetic differences among individuals, and 10-30% of variation in height is due to differences in the environments that individuals experience,...

The Wave Nature of Light02:12

The Wave Nature of Light

61.3K
The nature of light has been a subject of inquiry since antiquity. In the seventeenth century, Isaac Newton performed experiments with lenses and prisms and was able to demonstrate that white light consists of the individual colors of the rainbow combined together. Newton explained his optics findings in terms of a "corpuscular" view of light, in which light was composed of streams of extremely tiny particles traveling at high speeds according to Newton's laws of motion.

Chirality in Nature02:30

Chirality in Nature

17.2K
Chirality is the most intriguing yet essential facet of nature, governing life’s biochemical processes and precision. It can be observed from a snail shell pattern in a macroscopic world to an amino acid, the minutest building block of life. Most of the snails around the world have right-coiled shells because of the intrinsic chirality in their genes. All the amino acids present in the human body exist in an enantiomerically pure state, except for glycine - the sole achiral amino acid.

Limits to Natural Selection01:38

Limits to Natural Selection

34.9K
Organisms that are well-adapted to their environment are more likely to survive and reproduce. However, natural selection does not lead to perfectly adapted organisms. Several factors constrain natural selection.

Natural Selection and Adaptation01:15

Natural Selection and Adaptation

1.4K
Natural selection, a fundamental concept in evolutionary biology, is the mechanism by which evolution is driven, favoring organisms that are best adapted to their environments. This process enhances their chances of survival and reproduction. Adaptation, a key outcome of this process, involves genetic modifications that optimize an organism's functionality under specific environmental challenges, such as extreme cold or thinner air at high altitudes.
Beyond physical adaptations,...

Area of Science:

  • Marine chemistry and natural product research.

Background:

  • Marine natural products (MNPs) are a rich source of novel chemical entities.
  • The year 2017 saw significant advancements in the discovery and characterization of MNPs.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of MNPs reported in the scientific literature from January to December 2017.
  • To catalog new compounds, their biological activities, and origins.
  • To include biosynthetic studies, syntheses, and structural revisions.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search for publications on marine natural products from 2017.
  • Analysis of 740 citations, focusing on 477 papers reporting 1490 new compounds.
  • Categorization of compounds based on source organisms (microorganisms, algae, invertebrates, plants) and geographic origin.

Main Results:

  • A total of 1490 new marine natural products were reported in 2017.
  • Compounds were isolated from a wide array of marine sources, including microorganisms, algae, sponges, and other invertebrates.
  • Data on biological activities, source organisms, and country of origin were compiled for the new compounds.

Conclusions:

  • The year 2017 was highly productive for marine natural product discovery.
  • Continued exploration of marine biodiversity yields novel compounds with potential biological applications.
  • Phylogenetic analysis of MNP geographic distribution offers insights into evolutionary patterns.
