Insect wings represent a pivotal evolutionary innovation that has underpinned the remarkable radiation of the Insecta. This field, at the intersection of evolution and developmental biology (evo-devo) ...
Studying evolution by focusing solely on fossils would leave many questions unanswered, but evolutionary developmental biology (otherwise known as “evo-devo”) helps fill in the gaps. Evo-devo ...
How the life histories, diets, and other ecological features of species evolve, and how these processes affect the composition and properties of communities and ecosystems; also, how species evolve in ...
The ecology and evolutionary biology (EBIO) graduate program provides advanced training in a wide variety of biological disciplines ranging from biogeochemistry to community ecology to evolutionary ...
1. The environment as a normal agent in producing phenotypes -- 2. How agents in the environment effect molecular changes in development -- 3. Developmental symbiosis: co-development as a strategy for ...
Developmental biology has come of age / Donald D. Brown -- Expression and developmental regulation of the maize Spm transposable element / J.A. Banks, P. Masson and N.V. Fedoroff -- Chicken antibody ...
In the quest to understand how complex life forms develop from a single cell, scientists have long studied the intricate processes of morphogenesis. However, the ability to direct and manipulate these ...
To escape predators beneath the waves, a flying fish can shoot out of the water and glide long distances because its paired pectoral and pelvic fins, longer and more rigid than those of other fish, ...
Evolutionary developmental biology, or evo‐devo, investigates how evolution shapes developmental processes to generate the diversity of life. It synthesises comparative embryology, genetics and ...
