Evolutionary developmental biology, or evo‐devo, investigates how evolution shapes developmental processes to generate the diversity of life. It synthesises comparative embryology, genetics and ...
1. The environment as a normal agent in producing phenotypes -- 2. How agents in the environment effect molecular changes in development -- 3. Developmental symbiosis: co-development as a strategy for ...
The evolutionary developmental biology of feathers and epidermal structures encompasses the intricate interplay of genetic regulation, biochemical signalling and mechanical forces that together drive ...
"This multi-author, six-volume work summarizes our current knowledge on the developmental biology of all major invertebrate animal phyla"--Volume 1, page [4] of cover. Vol. 1. Introduction, ...
A new wave of scientists argues that mainstream evolutionary theory needs an urgent overhaul. Their opponents have dismissed them as misguided careerists – and the conflict may determine the future of ...
How will life on Earth and the ecosystems that support it adapt to climate change? Which species will go extinct – or evolve into something new? How will microbes develop further resistance to ...
Erik Svensson receives funding from from the Swedish Research Council (VR; grant no. 2020-03123). How will life on Earth and the ecosystems that support it adapt to climate change? Which species will ...
Humans' exposure to high temperature burn injuries may have played an important role in our evolutionary development, shaping ...
Early in pregnancy, something surprising happens. Every human embryo develops a tail. It is not symbolic or imagined. A real extension forms at the base of the spine, complete with vertebrae. Later, ...
Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences has officially voted to change the name of the Human Evolutionary Biology concentration during a meeting on April 1. Effective as of July 1, 2025 — when the ...
How the life histories, diets, and other ecological features of species evolve, and how these processes affect the composition and properties of communities and ecosystems; also, how species evolve in ...
