Population genetics is the interface of ecology and evolution. Historical and recent events (e.g., gene flow, population declines or expansions, selection, speciation) can be inferred from present allele frequencies and genetic variation. Labs demonstrating evolutionary processes and principles often require both long periods of time and large amounts of space. Conversely, there are numerous computer simulations that have been developed to demonstrate these principles in the classroom (e.g., FlyLab, Pearson Higher Education; PopGene, Trinity Software; Magnetobacteria, Culp 1999; EVOLVE, Soderberg and Price 2003). Computer simulations ...
