This week we are covering biodiversity, taxonomy, phylogeny, evolution, and the factors and processes that contribute to evolution, including mutations, natural selection, gene flow, and genetic drift. Find a news article from Science Daily “https://www.sciencedaily.com” (or another credible news source) that describes a recent research study that relates to something you found interesting in this week’s readings. The article should be less than 3 years old and not already discussed by another student. Include the following in your main response: Formulate a likely hypothesis for this research study (it may not be specifically stated in the article) In 1-2 sentences, summarize in your own words the most important conclusion from the research study. Describe how this research study relates to this week’s BIOL 103 course topics. Use at least one in-text citation to this week’s assigned textbook chapters. Finally, discuss at least one broader implication of this research that was not described in the article. In other words, how do you believe these research findings may impact society, the environment, health, or the world in a positive and/or negative way? Be specific. Use the name of the Science Daily article as the title of your post. Use in-text citations, and include references in APA format to the chosen Science Daily article, the textbook, and all other resources used to prepare your response.
