Part 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 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...
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 کاملEvo-devo and the evolution of social behavior.
The integration of evolutionary biology with developmental genetics into the hybrid field of 'evo-devo' resulted in major advances in understanding multicellular development and morphological evolution. Here we show how insights from evo-devo can be applied to study the evolution of social behavior. We develop this idea by reviewing studies that suggest that molecular pathways controlling feedi...
