Evo–Devo: Universal Toll Pass for the Extension Highway?
نویسندگان
چکیده
The distinction between long-germ and short-germ insects is a classic one in evo-devo, yet a common genetic mechanism may underlie germband extension in all insects, even all arthropods.

Evo Devo Universe? A Framework for Speculations on Cosmic Culture
The underlying paradigm for cosmology is theoretical physics. In this paper we explore ways this framework might be extended with insights from information and computation studies and evolutionary developmental (evo-devo) biology. We also briefly consider implications of such a framework for cosmic culture. In organic systems, adaptive evolutionary development guides the production of intellige...
متن کاملPart I Thinking about evolution by taking development on board
What is evo-devo? Undoubtedly this is a shorthand for evolutionary developmental biology. There, however, agreement stops. Evo-devo has been regarded as either a new discipline within evolutionary biology or simply a new perspective upon it, a lively interdisciplinary field of studies, or even necessary complement to the standard (neo-Darwinian) theory of evolution, which is an obligate step to...
متن کاملEvo-Devo: the long and winding road.
Evolutionary developmental biology (Evo-Devo) aims to unveil how developmental processes and mechanisms become modified during evolution and how from these changes the past and present biodiversity arose. The first wave of Evo-Devo identified a conserved set of toolkits common to most metazoans. The present second wave has changed gear and aims to identify how genes and modules were used differ...
متن کاملFor a new dialogue between theoretical and empirical studies in evo-devo
Despite its potentially broad scope, current evo-devo research is largely dominated by empirical developmental studies, whereas comparably little role is played by theoretical research. I argue that this represents an obstacle to a wider appreciation of evo-devo and its integration within a more comprehensive evolutionary theory, and that this situation is causally linked to a limited exchange ...
متن کاملThe 5 th Meeting of the Rising Generation of Evo - Devo Biologists “ Understanding Evolution Through ‘ Epigenetic ’ Perspectives ”
The 5th Meeting of the Rising Generation of Evo-Devo Biologists held in Okazaki, Japan, on June 16th, 2012, brought together 62 participants active in evo-devo or in related areas of research. The meeting, entitled “Understanding Evolution Through ‘Epigenetic’ Perspectives” was aimed at introducing (or re-introducing) ‘epigenetics’, originally proposed by Waddington in the 1940s, as a framework...
