SCIN 130 American Public University Week 3 Evolution of Xylariomycetidae Discussion

This week, we will look for modern-day examples of biological evolution, those recently discovered, the use of newer technologies, or simply finding out more about past projects.

You are to find an article that demonstrates a modern-day example of biological evolution. If you are stuck, a great place to start is either the APUS library or Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/ using choice keywords (“evolution” or “current topics in evolution” brings up a lot of results). Be sure that you can address the following points and remember to stay on topic. If you are unsure if your idea or article really pertains to biological evolution, please reach out and ask me. For example, artificial intelligence (AI) is a fascinating topic but does not pertain to biological evolution.

• Choose an article that is different than your classmates – use the article title as the title to your post.
• Summarize the main points of the article.
• Was there a new technology used? How? What did it discover?
• Was there a new species discovered? New information on an already discovered species?
• What was the species? What was the information?
• What were the methods used? Is this groundbreaking?
