On the evolutionary developmental biology of the cell. [PDF]
Trends GenetOrganisms are complex assemblages of cells, cells that produce light, shoot harpoons, and secrete glue. Therefore, identifying the mechanisms that generate novelty at the level of the individual cell is essential for understanding how multicellular life evolves. For decades, the field of evolutionary developmental biology (Evo-Devo) has been developing

Grand Challenges in Evolutionary Developmental Biology [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015 EVO-DEVO’S IDENTITY There is a widespread consensus on the view that evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) is the discipline eventually borne to fill the gap between evolutionary biology and developmental biology, following a divorce between these two fields that extended over more than half a century (Amundson, 2005).

Evolutionary developmental biology in cycad phenology. [PDF]
Commun Integr Biol, 2012 We recently described lack of phenotypic plasticity in reproductive organ development and substantial plasticity in vegetative organ development for the cycad Cycas micronesica. Is there an evo-devo explanation for the disparity in phenotypic plasticity of vegetative vs. reproductive organs?

The logic of transgenerational inheritance in a nematode worm [PDF]
iScienceSummary: Epigenetic inheritance of environmentally induced phenotypes across generations has been observed in multiple taxa. However, the dynamics of non-genetic inheritance as a consequence of environmental variability remains poorly understood.

Ultrastructure of the lamprey head mesoderm reveals evolution of the vertebrate head
iScience, 2023 Summary: The cranial muscle is a critical component in the vertebrate head for a predatory lifestyle. However, its evolutionary origin and possible segmental nature during embryogenesis have been controversial.

BMC Genomics, 2020 Background Nematode model organisms such as Caenorhabditis elegans and Pristionchus pacificus are powerful systems for studying the evolution of gene function at a mechanistic level. However, the identification of P.

Developmental biology, the stem cell of biological disciplines. [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2017 Developmental biology (including embryology) is proposed as "the stem cell of biological disciplines." Genetics, cell biology, oncology, immunology, evolutionary mechanisms, neurobiology, and systems biology each has its ancestry in developmental biology.

Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience, 2022 Disturbances in the excitatory/inhibitory balance of brain neural circuits are the main source of encephalopathy during neurodevelopment. Changes in the function of neural circuits can lead to depolarization or repeat rhythmic firing of neurons in a ...

Sex-specific growth arrest in a lizard
iScience, 2022 Summary: (1) In contrast to mammals and birds, reptiles have been considered as indeterminate growers, whose growth reflects differential allocation of resources to growth versus other energetically demanding processes such as reproduction.
