The changing role of the embryo in evolutionary thought: Roots of evo-devo [PDF]

, 2005
Introduction: Neo-Darwinism coined a particular picture of evolution: the explanation of adaptation and speciation as the central goals of evolutionary theory, and natural selection as the only directing cause in evolution.

Core histone families of mollusca: systematic identification, evolutionary insights, and functional analysis

BMC Genomics
Background Histones are the basic packaging units of eukaryotic DNA and are essential for the dynamics of chromatin and the regulation of epigenetics. Canonical histones and their variants exhibit important functional differences in biological processes.

Building brains that can evolve: Challenges and prospects for evo-devo neurobiology

Mètode Science Studies Journal: Annual Review, 2017
Evo-devo biology involves cross-species comparisons of entire developmental trajectories, not just of adult forms. This approach has proven very successful in general morphology, but its application to neurobiological problems is still relatively new ...

Translating Riedl: The Circulation and Operationalisation of Evolutionary Ideas

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
Rupert Riedl's Order in Living Organisms proposed a systems theory of evolution decades before the concepts it pioneered—homology, burden, the imitative epigenotype—reached the agenda of evolutionary biology. This paper reconstructs the lineages that operationalized his insights across several fields and explores the internal and external reasons for ...

Evo Devo and cognitive science

, 2011
Evo Devo (evolutionary developmental) biology forges a synthesis of evolutionary and developmental processes. Evo Devo is the result of collaborative work of evolutionary and developmental biologists after the discovery of regulatory genes that human ...

The evo-devo of plant speciation [PDF]

, 2017
Speciation research bridges the realms of macro- and microevolution. Evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) has classically dealt with macroevolutionary questions through a comparative approach to distantly related organisms, but the field later ...

Cell-cell communication as underlying principle governing color pattern formation in teleost fishes

Nature Communications
The diverse pigmentation patterns of animals are crucial for predation avoidance and behavioral display. This diversity arises from interactions among distinct pigment cell types, yet mechanisms generating pattern variation across teleost fishes remain ...

Evo-Devo Strategies for Generative Architecture: Colour-Based Patterns in Polygon Meshes

Biomimetics, 2020
Parametric design in architecture is often pigeonholed by its own definition and computational complexity. This article explores the generative capacity to integrate patterns and flows analogous to evolutionary developmental biology (Evo-Devo) strategies

A detailed redescription of a skeletally immature ‘Redondasaurus’ suggests ontogenetic transformations in the taxon mirror phytosaurian morphological evolution

The Anatomical Record, Volume 309, Issue 10, Page 2656-2697, October 2026.
Abstract The study of morphological evolution is fundamentally tied to ontogeny, yet studies of these heterochronic processes in the fossil record are rare. Fossils belonging to an ontogenetic series are difficult to assign to an ontogenetic stage due to inconsistent proxies for skeletal ages, challenging to taxonomically assign due to morphological ...

Evaluating the Validity of Model Organisms: A Review and a New Framework for Biologists

The FASEB Journal, Volume 40, Issue 17, 15 September 2026.
This article provides an overview on model organisms and proposes a new framework for assessing the extent to which it is justified to generalize the results obtained from a given organism. It covers both studies of human diseases and those focused on general biological processes. The first part of the article is a review on model organisms.
