- Evolution 101: Genetic Drift
 - One of the basic mechanisms of evolution, genetic drift affects the genetic makeup of a population through an entirely random process. - Genetic Drift and the Founder Effect
- 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.
- Genetic Drift Simulation
- Activity designed to help students visualize evolution at a simple level and develop their intuition for the process of genetic drift.
- Genetic Drift Workbook
- Simulates the process of evolutionary change by genetic drift.
- Random Genetic Drift
- Describes the how genetic drift, one of the most important mechanisms of evolution, works.
- Small Population Size Effects: 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.
- Wikipedia: Genetic Drift
- Hyperlinked article about the mechanism of evolution that acts in concert with natural selection to change the characteristics of species over time.
