a) The source of scientific information I chose for this blog post was “Genomic variation from an extinct species is retained in the extant radiation following speciation reversal” by David Frei et al., published in Nature Ecology and Evolution in February of this year.
Frei, D., De-Kayne, R., Selz, O.M. et al. Genomic variation from an extinct species is retained in the extant radiation following speciation reversal. Nat Ecol Evol 6, 461–468 (2022). https://doi.org/10.1038/s41559-022-01665-7
This sources is classified into the academic, peer-reviewed, research material category of scientific information.
b) To determine this classification I followed the flow chart on module 1 “Tutorial: How to Evaluate Sources of Scientific Information” and referred to the journal’s website for further information.
The source is written by experts in the field, has in-text citations (view attached screenshot), and a bibliography. It is academic material as it has been peer reviewed by at least 1 referee (view screen shots attached – can be found under the peer review tab when viewing this paper). Finally, this source contains a Methods/Results section making it an academic, peer-reviewed, research material article.
