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...

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 کاملBOOK REVIEW When evo–devo transcends the etiological myth
How the Snake Lost its Legs is Lewis Held’s second essay approaching the theme of developmental evolution with a focus on natural oddities. His previous opus—Quirks of Human Anatomy: An Evo-Devo Look at the Human Body—unraveled the peculiarities and flaws of our own bodies in light of evo– devo research (Held 2009). In How the Snake Lost its Legs, Held directly delves into animal diversity to s...
متن کاملGetting to Evo-Devo: Concepts and Challenges for Students Learning Evolutionary Developmental Biology
To examine how well biology majors have achieved the necessary foundation in evolution, numerous studies have examined how students learn natural selection. However, no studies to date have examined how students learn developmental aspects of evolution (evo-devo). Although evo-devo plays an increasing role in undergraduate biology curricula, we find that instruction often addresses development ...
