Mouse models and the evolutionary developmental biology of the skull [PDF]
Understanding development is relevant to understanding evolution because developmental processes structure the expression of phenotypic variation upon which natural selection acts. Advances in developmental biology are fueling a new synthesis of developmental and evolutionary biology, but it remains unclear how to use developmental information that ...

Marine animal evolutionary developmental biology-Advances through technology development. [PDF]
Evolutionary developmental biology, the interdisciplinary effort of illuminating the conserved similarities and differences during animal development across all phylogenetic clades, has gained renewed interest in the past decades.

Background The process of early development varies across the species-rich phylum Arthropoda. Owing to the limited research strategies for dissecting lineage-specific processes of development in arthropods, little is known about the variations in early ...

Autophagy and its role in regeneration and remodeling within invertebrate
Background Acting as a cellular cleaner by packaging and transporting defective proteins and organelles to lysosomes for breakdown, autophagic process is involved in the regulation of cell remodeling after cell damage or cell death in both vertebrate and

Development of hypobranchial muscles with special reference to the evolution of the vertebrate neck
Background The extant vertebrates include cyclostomes (lamprey and hagfish) and crown gnathostomes (jawed vertebrates), but there are various anatomical disparities between these two groups. Conspicuous in the gnathostomes is the neck, which occupies the

Summary: The role of steroid hormone signaling during insect post-embryonic development has been extensively characterized. However, its function during embryonic development is less understood, particularly in short-germ band hemimetabolous insects.

Evolutionary crossroads in developmental biology [PDF]
Currently, most developmental biologists work on one or more of a relatively small number of experimental systems, such as Arabidopsis thaliana, Drosophila melanogaster (fruit fly), Xenopus laevis (frog), Caenorhabditis elegans (nematode), Danio rerio (zebrafish) and Mus musculus (mouse), and ...

Darwin in mind : new opportunities for evolutionary psychology [PDF]
Evolutionary Psychology (EP) views the human mind as organized into many modules, each underpinned by psychological adaptations designed to solve problems faced by our Pleistocene ancestors.

Tunicates push the limits of animal evo-devo [PDF]
The phylum to which humans belong, Chordata, takes its name from one of the major shared derived features of the group, the notochord. All chordates have a notochord, at least during embryogenesis, and there is little doubt about notochord homology at ...

Environmental influence on Pristionchus pacificus mouth form through different culture methods
Environmental cues can impact development to elicit distinct phenotypes in the adult. The consequences of phenotypic plasticity can have profound effects on morphology, life cycle, and behavior to increase the fitness of the organism.
