In some recent papers, Chomsky has suggested some non-trivial analogies between the biolinguistic approach and evolutionary developmental biology (Evo-Devo). In this paper, the point is made that those analogies should be handled with caution. The reason

Theories, laws, and models in evo-devo. [PDF]
Evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) is the study of the evolution of developmental mechanisms. Here, I review some of the theories, models, and laws in evo-devo, past and present.

Generalization in Evo-Devo [PDF]
How general are our findings concerning the evolution and development of life forms? I will discuss this question of generality and the related question concerning the existence of lawlike generalizations with specific reference to evolutionary ...

Dispositional Properties in Evo-Devo
In identifying intrinsic molecular chance and extrinsic adaptive pressures as the only causally relevant factors in the process of evolution, the theoretical perspective of the Modern Synthesis had a major impact on the perceived tenability of an ...

Evo-devo of human adolescence: beyond disease models of early puberty [PDF]
Despite substantial heritability in pubertal development, much variation remains to be explained, leaving room for the influence of environmental factors to adjust its phenotypic trajectory in the service of fitness goals.

Why call it developmental bias when it is just development?
The concept of developmental constraints has been central to understand the role of development in morphological evolution. Developmental constraints are classically defined as biases imposed by development on the distribution of morphological variation.

Anemonefishes: A model system for evolutionary genomics [version 2; peer review: 2 approved]
Anemonefishes are an iconic group of coral reef fish particularly known for their mutualistic relationship with sea anemones. This mutualism is especially intriguing as it likely prompted the rapid diversification of anemonefish.
