This lesson focuses on adaptations as a driving force in evolutionary diversity. Adaptations are characteristics within a species that enhance its chances of survival and reproduction. Adaptations can be behavioral, structural, or functional. Students must understand that these adaptations are not acquired in the course of the organism’s lifetime, but are inherited traits that have been passed down
This one hour webinar features Alex Eilers and the team studying Weddell Seals in the Ross Sea. The team shares their research with the audience and honors the importance of Antarctica Day. The event celebrates the international treaty stating that Antarctica is set aside for peaceful scientific purposes.
