Catching pokemon works a little differently in Pokemon Quest. Instead of throwing Poke Balls, you lure them with food. Evolution is a little different too, especially for one pokemon in particular, Eevee. You can read about Pokemon Quest Evolution in ...

One of the basic mechanisms of evolution, genetic drift affects the genetic makeup of a population through an entirely random process.
Evolution 101: Genetic Drift
Introduction to the basic mechanisms of evolutionary change: mutations, gene flow, genetic shuffling, and development.
Hyperlinked article about the mechanism of evolution that acts in concert with natural selection to change the characteristics of species over time.
Describes the how genetic drift, one of the most important mechanisms of evolution, works.
Activity designed to help students visualize evolution at a simple level and develop their intuition for the process of genetic drift.
Brief hyperlinked article about the founder effect, the loss of genetic variation when a new colony is formed by a very small number of individuals, an extreme example of genetic drift.
Describes the phenomenon acting on small, reproductively isolated populations that can produce rapid changes in gene frequencies totally independent of mutation, recombination, and natural selection.
Evolution 101 provides the nuts-and-bolts on the patterns and mechanisms of evolution.
Describes cases where two (or more) species reciprocally affect each other's evolution.
Allows readers to explore different ways to define a species and learn about the various processes through which speciation can occur.
Provides articles on a number of topics in the evolutionary and genetic fields.
