Amniote Perspectives on the Evolutionary Origins of Viviparity and Placentation
Phylogenetic analyses of reproductive patterns have clarified several aspects of the evolution of viviparity in reptiles and mammals, and offer useful comparisons to that pattern in fishes. In amniotes, viviparity, placentation, and matrotrophy have been assumed to evolve as three successive stages in a continuous, unilinear transformation, with yolk sac placentas originating prior to chorioall...
متن کاملResurrecting embryos of the tuatara, Sphenodon punctatus, to resolve vertebrate phallus evolution.
The breadth of anatomical and functional diversity among amniote external genitalia has led to uncertainty about the evolutionary origins of the phallus. In several lineages, including the tuatara, Sphenodon punctatus, adults lack an intromittent phallus, raising the possibility that the amniote ancestor lacked external genitalia and reproduced using cloacal apposition. Accordingly, a phallus m...
متن کاملCharles Darwin and the origins of plant evolutionary developmental biology.
Much has been written of the early history of comparative embryology and its influence on the emergence of an evolutionary developmental perspective. However, this literature, which dates back nearly a century, has been focused on metazoans, without acknowledgment of the contributions of comparative plant morphologists to the creation of a developmental view of biodiversity. We trace the origin...
متن کاملthe effect of e-64 on the developmental competence of sheep cocs during in vitro maturation
in the present study, the effect of e-64 at different concentrations (0.5, 1, 5 and 10 µm) added to (1) the ivm medium on oocyte nuclear maturation and developmental competence of ovine oocytes, and (2) to the ivc medium on embryonic development of ovine embryos were investigated.
The origins of variation: evolutionary insights from developmental science.
Evidence from contemporary epigenetic research indicates that it is not biologically meaningful to discuss genes without reference to the molecular, cellular, organismal, and environmental context within which they are activated and expressed. Genetic and nongenetic factors, including those beyond the organism, constitute a dynamic relational developmental system. This insight highlights the im...
