Evolution Wiki

By evolgen on February 25, 2006.

I have always been disappointed by the EvoWiki -- I found that I could get better information on evolutionary biology from the regular Wikipedia. Now some folks have organized the evolution content on Wikipedia into navigation templates. I have not examined the content of the entries listed in these templates, but this seems like a cool idea.

Evolution: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Evolution

Population genetics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Popgen

Development of phenotype (or "genetic architecture", its original name): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Genarch

Phylogenetics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Phylo

Quantitative genetics: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Qg

Speciation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Speciation

Evolution of chromosomes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Chromo

Origin of life: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Origin_of_life

I got this email from Alan Kazlev, one of the main fellows working on the Palaeos website (a very useful paleontological resource), which I had previously reported as going offline. Plans are afoot to bring it back, and the answer seems to be to wikify it and build it anew, with a more distributed…
Welcome to evolgen at ScienceBlogs
Hello again to my long time evolgen readers, and nice to meet you to the first timers who have found the new site. For my regular readers, this, for all intents and purposes, is the new evolgen. The old site is still around and will act as an archive of my previous evolgen posts, but if you…
The Macroevolution 'Controversy'
I've always thought if the evolutionary biologists who invented the term macroevolution--any evolutionary change at or above the level of species--knew the mischief that the creationists would do with it, they would have 'uninvented' the term right then and there. I've been meaning to write about…
Limitations in Evolutionary Genetics
PZ Myers is reposting some of his greatest hits from the old Pharyngula website to his new digs at ScienceBlogs. In one post he gets into the deficiencies of modern evolutionary theory using West-Eberhard's book as a guide. I agree with most of the thing he says (and I'll get into how I agree…
