The Importance of Phylogenetic Relationships in Evolutionary Biology
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page contention that phylogenetic relationships are a critical component of evolutionary biology. Indeed, it is upon our knowledge of phylogeny which we base much of our theory of evolution. Even in “Origin of Species”, that infamous production of an earlier century which many consider synonymous with the concept of evolution, Darwin relies heavily on his knowledge of phylogeny to assess the characteristics of plants and animals which he observed on his scientific voyage on the “Beagle”. Contends that this is only one example, of the many interrelationships of phylogeny and evolutionary theory which have occurred over time. It, along with the somewhat antiquated concept of ontogeny recapitulating phylogeny, however, illustrates the importance of phylogeny to evolutionary theory. Bibliography lists 3 sources.

The Muscle System: An Overview
[ send me this paper ]
A 3 page paper providing a general overview of the three types of muscle tissue. Muscle tissue is that which holds together the larger framework of the human body and enables us to move at will when functioning properly. Other types of muscles are associated with internal organs and operate involuntarily so that our intestines continue to work full time and our heart beats continually without any conscious effort. Bibliography lists 5 sources.

The Physiological and Behavioral Components of Sexual Mimicry
[ send me this paper ]
This 10 page paper outlines a study on sexual mimicry in animal populations. The physiological and behavioral components of sexual mimicry can be viewed through an understanding of polymorphism and the changes that occur in flycatcher populations. A number of studies of flycatcher populations provide a basis for understanding the physiological and behavioral changes that occur in the presence of different stimuli. This study relates to these changes through a view of existing studies, and assesses the methodologies used by other researchers to determine the best ways of studying this population.

The Physiological Impacts of Dioxins
[ send me this paper ]
A 12 page overview of the far reaching effects of dioxins such as chlorinated dibenzo-p-dioxins (CDDs), chlorinated dibenzofurans (CDFs), and polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). Notes that although some dioxins are produced naturally, many are produced as pollutants from industrial applications and such activities as the incineration of waste products. Outlines the impacts of these pollutants on human and animal physiology emphasizing the adverse impacts to reproduction, lipid metabolism, and the central nervous system. Bibliography lists 17 sources.
