From Darwin to DNA: The Genetic Basis of Animal Behavior
April 2, 2014
Evolution Matters Lecture Series: Lecture by Hopi Hoekstra, Professor of Zoology and Curator of Mammals at the Museum of Comparative Zoology, Harvard University
How do certain animals, such as wild mice, evolve their most critical survival traits, including skin coloration, body shape, and the ability to dig elaborate tunnels in order to hide from predators? How fast can successive generations acquire visible traits, and how do animal genes and behavior interact? Evolutionary geneticist Hopi Hoekstra and colleagues have combined extensive field research with the latest techniques in DNA analysis to unlock one of biology’s most elusive secrets: the genes that control behavior.
The Evolution Matters Lecture Series is supported by a generous gift from Drs. Herman and Joan Suit.
