Sound production by fishes has been recognized for millennia, but is typically regarded as
comparatively rare and thus yet to be integrated into broader concepts of vertebrate …

A fuller understanding of the role of developmental bias in shaping large‐scale evolutionary
patterns requires integrating bias (the probability distribution of variation accessible to an …

Biologists would be mistaken if they relegated living fossils to paleontological inquiry or
assumed that the concept is dead. It is now used to describe entities ranging from viruses to …

While skeletal evolution has been extensively studied, the evolution of limb muscles and
brachial plexus has received less attention. In this review, we focus on the tempo and mode …

Macroevolutionary developmental biology employs fossilized ontogenetic data and
phylogenetic comparative methods to probe the evolution of development at ancient nodes …

Cetaceans are the only mammals to have evolved hyperphalangy, an increase in the
number of phalanges beyond the mammalian plesiomorphic condition of three phalanges …

The role of developmental bias and plasticity in evolution is a central research interest in
evolutionary biology. Studies of these concepts and related processes are usually …

Cetaceans (baleen and toothed whales) present a unique set of adaptations for life in water.
Among other abilities, the two living groups can hear and produce different sound …

Background Self-powered flight is one of the most energy-intensive types of locomotion
found in vertebrates. It is also associated with a range of extreme morpho-physiological …

ABSTRACT I provide a brief discussion of the present/future of Evo‐Devo, reviewing
