Evolution of developmental pattern for vertebrate dentitions: an oro-pharyngeal specific mechanism.
Classically the oral dentition with teeth regulated into a successional iterative order was thought to have evolved from the superficial skin denticles migrating into the mouth at the stage when jaws evolved. The canonical view is that the initiation of a pattern order for teeth at the mouth margin required development of a sub-epithelial, permanent dental lamina. This provided regulated tooth ...
متن کاملDevelopmental Timing: let-7 Function Conserved through Evolution
Expression of the heterochronic microRNA let-7 is tightly correlated with the onset of adult development in many animals, suggesting that it functions as an evolutionarily conserved developmental timer. This hypothesis has now been confirmed by studies in Drosophila.
متن کامل'Biogeneric' developmental processes: drivers of major transitions in animal evolution.
Using three examples drawn from animal systems, I advance the hypothesis that major transitions in multicellular evolution often involved the constitution of new cell-based materials with unprecedented morphogenetic capabilities. I term the materials and formative processes that arise when highly evolved cells are incorporated into mesoscale matter 'biogeneric', to reflect their commonality wit...
متن کاملDevelopmental processes and canine dimorphism in primate evolution.
Understanding the evolutionary history of canine sexual dimorphism is important for interpreting the developmental biology, socioecology and phylogenetic position of primates. All current evidence for extant primates indicates that canine dimorphism is achieved through bimaturism rather than via differences in rates of crown formation time. Using incremental growth lines, we charted the ontogen...
متن کاملTime Series Evolution for Integrating Developmental Burglary Processes
Material and virtual entities alike undergo developmental processes. If they replicate, they evolve and adapt to a variety of developmental processes. Based on the notion that these processes rarely constitute a direct translation from one state to the next, we have taken a step towards formally capturing evolutionary development of time series. We iteratively extend the Knapsack Problem to con...
