Evolutionary cell biology: functional insight from "endless forms most beautiful".
In animal and fungal model organisms, the complexities of cell biology have been analyzed in exquisite detail and much is known about how these organisms function at the cellular level. However, the model organisms cell biologists generally use include only a tiny fraction of the true diversity of eukaryotic cellular forms. The divergent cellular processes observed in these more distant lineage...

The amazing disparity of living birds is self-apparent, yet immensely challenging to fully quantify. After all, birds are represented by nearly 11,000 living species, comprising a mind-boggling spectrum of shapes, sizes, and colors (1). This incredible variability manifests in an incalculable number of ways (from habitat type to diet to life history), but adequately characterizing any of these ...

The marriage of evolution and development to produce the new discipline 'evo-devo' in biology is situated in the general history of evolutionary biology, and its significance for developmental cognitive science is discussed. The discovery and description of the highly conserved, robust and 'evolvable' mechanisms that organize the vertebrate body plan and fundamental physiology have direct impli...
متن کاملEndless Forms Most Viral
Perhaps more than any other biological discipline, the study of animal viruses is confined to the present. Virions are simply not the stuff of which robust fossils are made. Phylogenetic analysis can help by revealing deep relationships between extant viral lineages, yet such reconstructions lack detail (telling us nothing about transitional or extinct viral forms, the movement of viruses betwe...
متن کاملPL-07 Endless flies most beautiful: Cis-regulatory sequences and the evolution of animal form
One of the crucial issues concerning the evolution of animal form is whether there is any general tendency as to the genetic and molecular mechanisms involved? A vast body of comparative studies has revealed that morphology evolves via changes in the spatial regulation of gene expression during development. So the question of the evolution of form boils down to one concerning the evolution of g...
