- 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.

- Random Genetic Drift
Describes the how genetic drift, one of the most important mechanisms of evolution, works.

- 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 Simulation
Activity designed to help students visualize evolution at a simple level and develop their intuition for the process of genetic drift.

- 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.

- 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.
