Evolutionary–developmental (evo-devo) dynamics of hominin brain size
Brain size tripled in the human lineage over four million years, but why this occurred remains uncertain. Here, to study what caused this brain...
-
Sea cucumbers: an emerging system in evo-devo
A challenge for evolutionary developmental (evo-devo) biology is to expand the breadth of research organisms used to investigate how animal diversity...

Rediscovering Chara as a model organism for molecular and evo-devo studies
Chara has been used as a model for decades in the field of plant physiology, enabling the investigation of fundamental physiological processes. In...

Consciousness as Telos: An Evo-Devo Approach
Simona Ginsburg & Eva Jablonka (G&J), in The Evolution of the Sensitive Soul (2019) , explore the nature and status of the mind and subjective...

Fossils and plant evolution: structural fingerprints and modularity in the evo-devo paradigm
Fossils constitute the principal repository of data that allow for independent tests of hypotheses of biological evolution derived from observations...
-
Micro-Evo-Devo
Micro-evo-devo is the study of genetic basis of developmentally mediated phenotypic variation, and the evolutionary forces that affect the fate of...
-
Explanation in Evo-Devo
Evo-devo is a multidisciplinary field that investigates the interplay between evolutionary and developmental processes and brings together different...
-
Evo-Devo and Culture
What does evo-devo offer for a better understanding of cultural evolution? Cultural evolutionists with a biological bend typically focus on the...
-
Interdisciplinarity in Evo-Devo
Evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) is an inherently multidisciplinary area of contemporary biology. Although there are different...
-
Generalization in Evo-Devo
How general are our findings concerning the evolution and development of life forms? I will discuss this question of generality and the related...
-
Mechanisms in Evo-Devo
The concept of mechanism is central in evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo). Researchers in this field seek to identify and characterize...
-
A Reference Guide to Evo-Devo
Evo-devo is a principal research area in present-day evolutionary biology. This introductory chapter characterizes the evo-devo research program,...
-
Eco-Evo-Devo
Because environmental conditions influence gene expression as well as metabolic processes, an organism’s development is not scripted in its DNA but...
-
Evo-Devo and Phylogenetics
The contribution of evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) to phylogenetics has two aspects. The first is methodological: how to partition the...

Dispositional Properties in Evo-Devo
In identifying intrinsic molecular chance and extrinsic adaptive pressures as the only causally relevant factors in the process of evolution, the...

Phenoty** in Evo-Devo
The description and comparison of morphological features has been an integral part of evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) from the early...

Developmental Evolutionary Biology (Devo-Evo)
The field of evolution and development consists of two main approaches, the first, the evolutionary developmental approach studying changes in...
