eLifeMost teleost fishes exhibit a biphasic life history with a larval oceanic phase that is transformed into morphologically and physiologically different demersal, benthic, or pelagic juveniles. This process of transformation is characterized by a myriad of

Computational Phenotypes: Where the Theory of Computation Meets Evo-Devo
Biolinguistics, 2009 This article argues that the Chomsky Hierarchy can be reinterpreted as a developmental morphospace constraining the evolution of a discrete and finite series of computational phenotypes.

Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Ciência e Tecnologia, 2015 O objetivo deste trabalho foi analisar conteúdos de livros didáticos relacionados à evolução biológica. A análise foi orientada pelos eixos já consolidados dessa área bem como das discussões atuais que envolvem evo-devo, plasticidade e herança ...

Biological Systematics in the Evo-Devo era
European Journal of Taxonomy, 2015 Evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) suggests a distinction between modular and systemic variation. In the case of modular change, the conservation of the overall structure helps recognizing affinities, while a single, fast evolving module is ...

, 2013 Evo-Devo is a field of biology that compares the developmental processes of different organisms to determine the ancestral relationship between them, and to discover how developmental processes evolved. In this review I focused on a particular aspect within the field of Evo-Devo, which is the origin of the larva stage in ontogeny of some organisms ...

Evolution and development: some insights from evolutionary theory
Anais da Academia Brasileira de Ciências, 2001 Developmental biology and evolutionary biology are both mature integrative disciplines which started in the 19th century and then followed parallel and independent scientific pathways.

Frontiers in Zoology, 2017 Background The need for the adaptation of species of annelids as “Evo-Devo” model organisms of the superphylum Lophotrochozoa to refine the understanding of the phylogenetic relationships between bilaterian organisms, has promoted an increase in the ...

Anemonefish use sialic acid metabolism as Trojan horse to avoid giant sea anemone stinging
BMC BiologyBackground Anemonefish association with sea anemones is a prime example of mutualistic symbiosis. These fish live inside the sea anemone, benefitting from the protection of its toxic nematocysts, and in return, protect the anemone from its own predators.

What serial homologs can tell us about the origin of insect wings [version 1; referees: 2 approved]
F1000Research, 2017 Although the insect wing is a textbook example of morphological novelty, the origin of insect wings remains a mystery and is regarded as a chief conundrum in biology.
