Evolutionary developmental biology, and especially ecological developmental biology, is essential for discussions of sustainability and the responses to global climate change. First, this paper explores examples of animals that have success...
The role of ontogenetic allometry and nonallometric flower shape variation in species-level adaptive diversification - Calceolaria polyrhiza (Calceolariaceae) as a case study [0.03%]
Ontogenetic尺度发育全ometric几何关系变异和非geomteric几何关系性花shape形状变异在种水平适应分化中的作用——以Calceolaria polyrhiza(Calceolariaceae)为例研究

Marina M Strelin et al.
Organism shape changes predictably during ontogeny, resulting in specific patterns of ontogenetic allometry. In several plant and animal lineages, among-species variation in the shape of mature organisms mirrors variation along their growth...
A cis-regulatory change underlying the motor neuron-specific loss of Ebf expression in immotile tunicate larvae [0.03%]
无尾文昌鱼不能运动的幼虫期Ebf基因motor神经元特异丢失的一个顺式调控区变化

Elijah K Lowe et al.
Many species in the tunicate family Molgulidae have independently lost their swimming larval form and instead develop as tailless, immotile larvae. These larvae do not develop structures that are essential for swimming such as the notochord...
Size and shape regulation during larval growth in the lepidopteran Pieris brassicae [0.03%]

By adopting a longitudinal study design and through geometric morphometrics methods, we investigated size and shape regulation in the head capsule during the larval development of the cabbage butterfly Pieris brassicae under laboratory cond...
Evidence for BMP-mediated specification of primordial germ cells in an indirect-developing hemichordate [0.03%]
支持BMP介导的半索动物原肠胚细胞命定的确证

Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are specified during development by either one of two major mechanisms, the preformation mode or the inductive mode. Because the inductive mode is widely employed by many bilaterians and early branching metazoan...
Heterochrony and growth rate variation mediate the development of divergent genital morphologies in closely related Ohomopterus ground beetles [0.03%]
异时性与生长速率的改变介导了近缘拟步甲Ohomopterus属中不同阴茎形态的演化发育过程
Karen Terada,Taira Nishimura,Akihiro Hirayama et al.
Karen Terada et al.
The rapid divergence of genital morphology is well studied in the context of sexual selection and speciation; however, little is known about the developmental mechanisms underlying divergence in genitalia. Ground beetles in the subgenus Oho...

A tale of two leeches: Toward the understanding of the evolution and development of behavioral neural circuits [0.03%]
两种水蛭的故事:探究行为神经回路的进化与发育之路

Dian-Han Kuo et al.
In the animal kingdom, behavioral traits encompass a broad spectrum of biological phenotypes that have critical roles in adaptive evolution, but an EvoDevo approach has not been broadly used to study behavior evolution. Here, we propose tha...
Spontaneous homeotic mutants and genetic control of floral organ identity in a ranunculid [0.03%]
毛茛科植物的花器官身份决定及其同源异型突变体的研究
Jesús Martínez-Gómez,Kelsey D Galimba,Erin Y Coté et al.
Jesús Martínez-Gómez et al.
The regulation of floral organ identity was investigated using a forward genetic approach in five floral homeotic mutants of Thalictrum, a noncore eudicot. We hypothesized that these mutants carry defects in the floral patterning genes. Mut...
Whispers from vestigial nubbins: Arrested development provokes trait loss in toads [0.03%]

Jennifer L Stynoski et al.
Despite the use of acoustic communication, many species of toads (family Bufonidae) have lost parts of the tympanic middle ear, representing at least 12 independent evolutionary occurrences of trait loss. The comparative development of the ...
