142. Example Of The Scientific Method In Evolutionary Biology
     The Scientific Method Applied to Understanding the evolution of Coral Snake Coloration. The following example is based on a study by Brodie.  
     http://www.utm.edu/~rirwin/391Brodie.htm
     
     Extractions: The following example is based on a study by Brodie. The observation that provides a basis for this study is that coral snakes are both highly venomous and brightly colored, with black, red, and yellow stripes, as shown here. The question the study attempts to answer is why? Why did bright coloration evolve in this highly venomous snake? Two hypotheses are proposed; either could explain why coral snakes evolved bright coloration. These are: Aposematic coloration. Bright color warns away potential predators. Cryptic coloration. On natural background, the black, red, and yellow pattern is actually hard for potential predators to see (even though it looks bright to us, on a light background.) Predictions can be developed from these two hypotheses. First, we could ask what they predict about the degree of natural predation on coral snakes as compared to other snakes. BOTH hypotheses predict that coral snakes would experience relative low predation the first because predators are warned away from them, the second because predators can't see them. This is not a useful prediction for testing between the hypotheses since both predict the same thing. It illustrates the fact that different hypotheses can make the same prediction (remember, this is why one can never prove a hypothesis to be true there might always be some other hypothesis that makes the same prediction.) Brodie did an experiment for which the two hypotheses predict DIFFERENT things. He made model snakes out of a soft plastic. When birds (the main potential predators on coral snakes) bit these models, the imprints of their beaks were left on the models, so Brodie could count attempts at predation on these models. He made some models that were brown and others that looked like coral snakes. He placed these models on white backgrounds, and placed a large number of them out in the natural habitat (in this case, a rainforest in Costa Rica) of the coral snakes. The snakes on white backgrounds looked something like this:

     Extractions: Welcome to the Department of Organismic Biology, Ecology, and Evolution at UCLA. The mission of this department is to provide the highest quality undergraduate and graduate education and to conduct world-class research in ecology and evolutionary biology. The educational program is designed so that future generations, well trained in basic and applied biological sciences, can meet the medical, social, and environmental challenges associated with global population expansion. Education and research are conducted at all levels of biological organization - molecular, organismal, population, community and ecosystem. Studies are conducted on a broad range of living and extinct organisms, including microbes, plants, invertebrates, and vertebrates; in laboratory and field settings; and using experimental, empirical and theoretical approaches. This rich diversity of activities provides exceptional research opportunities for undergraduate and graduate students. At the undergraduate level, a General Biology major is accompanied by three specialized majors: (1) Ecology, Evolution, and Behavior; (2) Marine Biology, and (3) Plant Biology. Students in these degree programs have opportunities for field courses in marine and terrestrial biology, as well as independent research under the direct supervision of UCLA faculty.

     http://www.biomedcentral.com/1471-2148/3/12/abstract
     
     Extractions: Background A key event in the origin of life on this planet has been formation of self-replicating RNA-type molecules, which were complex enough to undergo a Darwinian-type evolution (origin of the "RNA world"). However, so far there has been no explanation of how the first RNA-like biopolymers could originate and survive on the primordial Earth. Results Conclusion These results suggest that accumulation of the first polynucleotides could be explained by their abiogenic selection as the most UV-resistant biopolymers.
