SUMMARY:"Avelution" Birds in the Development of Darwin's Theory of Evolution
DESCRIPTION:
 Naturalist Charles Darwin was strongly influenced 
 by avian examples while he was developing 
 the Theory of Evolution by Natural Selection. 
 Birds are vertebrates in Class Aves, so the 
 coined term "avelution" in this exhibition captures 
 the idea of this influence.  The exhibition 
 will showcase examples of birds from MSU 
 Museum collections, including many species 
 that Darwin encountered in Patagonia; the domestic 
 pigeon and chicken breeds that he studied 
 while he was investigating artificial selection, 
 and a Michigan example of adaptive radiation 
 among finches.\n\n
