Developmental bias, or genetic channeling, can influence the tempo and direction of
evolution and, thus, become reflected in patterns of biodiversity. Twenty years ago, this …

Ecological development or 'eco-devo'examines the mechanisms of developmental
regulation in real-world environments, providing an integrated approach for investigating …

Over the past decade, advances in both molecular developmental biology and evolutionary
ecology have made possible a new understanding of organisms as dynamic systems …

A research agenda for the next phase of plasticity studies calls for contributions from a
diverse group of biologists, working both independently and collaboratively, to pursue four …

There has been a recent trend in evolutionary developmental biology (evo–devo) towards
using increasing numbers of model species. I argue that, to understand phenotypic change …

In recent decades, the phenotype of an organism (ie its traits and behaviour) has been
studied as the outcome of a developmental 'programme'coded in its genotype. This …

The environment can play a significant role in the production of phenotypes. However, the
developmental mechanisms by which the environmental agents effect normal development …

It has been suggested that, by generalizing Darwinian principles, a common foundation can
be derived for all scientific disciplines dealing with evolutionary processes, especially for …

Allometric growth and ontogeny were studied in thick‐lipped grey mullet Chelon labrosus
reared in mesocosms from 1 to 71 day post hatching (dph). Multivariate allometric analysis …

The origins of evolutionary innovations have been intensively studied, but relatively little is
known about their large‐scale ecological patterns. For post‐Paleozoic benthic marine …
