Evolutionary Developmental Biology

2021
Evolutionary developmental biology, or evo-devo, is the study of the reciprocal relationships between ontogenetic development and evolutionary processes. This still relatively new research field, of roughly four decades, is highly heterogeneous and based on a variety of different approaches and interpretations of evo-devo as a research field.

Evolutionary developmental biology and genomics

Nature Reviews Genetics, 2007
Reciprocal questions often frame studies of the evolution of developmental mechanisms. How can species share similar developmental genetic toolkits but still generate diverse life forms? Conversely, how can similar forms develop from different toolkits?

Evolutionary crossroads in developmental biology: hemichordates

Development, 2012
Hemichordates are a deuterostome phylum, the sister group to echinoderms, and closely related to chordates. They have thus been used to gain insights into the origins of deuterostome and chordate body plans. Developmental studies of this group have a long and distinguished history.

Evolutionary Developmental Biology: the Interaction of Developmental Biology, Evolutionary Biology, Paleontology, and Genomics

Paleontological Journal, 2019
Evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) formed due to the interactions of evolutionary biology, paleontology, and comparative genomics, analyzes the interrelations of ontogenetic and phylogenetic processes and, primarily, the influence of changes in individual development are under genetic control, and Hox genes play a decisive role in the ...

Evolutionary Developmental Biology

2006
Abstract Evolutionary developmental biology (EDB, often shortened to “evo-devo”) includes a broad array of studies, stretching from phylogenetic analysis of developmental genes to comparative studies of embryos and gene expression patterns to microevolutionary studies of the genetic basis for morphological change.

How developmental is evolutionary developmental biology?

Biology and Philosophy, 2002
Evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) offers both an account of developmental processes and also new integrative frameworks for analyzing interactions between development and evolution. Biologists and philosophers are keen on evo-devo in part because it appears to offer a comfort zone between, on the one hand, what some take to be the relative ...

Evolutionary crossroads in developmental biology: annelids

Development, 2012
Annelids (the segmented worms) have a long history in studies of animal developmental biology, particularly with regards to their cleavage patterns during early development and their neurobiology. With the relatively recent reorganisation of the phylogeny of the animal kingdom, and the distinction of the super-phyla Ecdysozoa and Lophotrochozoa, an ...

Evolutionary developmental biology

2018
Evolutionary developmental biology is the study of evolutionary change (called phylogeny) as it is revealed through the embryological development of individual organisms (called ontogeny). On this approach, the understanding of ontogeny contributes to our understanding of phylogeny, and vice versa. Evolutionary thinkers of the nineteenth century almost

Evolutionary Developmental Biology in Haloarchaea

2023
Archaea as one of the three domains of life are prokaryotes that are similar to bacteria, yet have distinct properties that separate them from Bacteria and Eukaryota. Most archaea and bacteria cells are similar in shape and size, but there are exceptions like the Haloquadratum walsbyi, which has flat and square-shaped cells. Archaea are the predominant
