Evolutionary developmental biology is the comparative study of organismal development and how it has evolved. There is a particular focus on the genetic basis of phenotypic structures, how they ...

Our research focus is on the phenotype and factors affecting its evolution. For most projects, we use the mammalian dentition that offers a rich array of interrelated data on development, function, ...

Evolutionary developmental biology, or 'evo-devo', is the study of the relationship between evolution and development. Dealing specifically with the generative mechanisms of organismal form, evo-devo ...

However, a new study from the University of Geneva suggests that the egg could in fact predate all animal life. A ...

By contrast, evo–devo theory establishes how the relationships between genes, cells and developmental interactions affect the evolution of phenotypes. Hence, evo–devo does not invalidate the ...

Developmental Biology, Evolutionary Biology) with focused interdisciplinary biological research and preparation for career advancement. The program combines fundamental and rigorous training in the ...

Variation in developmental processes, including those involved in evolutionary change as well as disease, are discussed. Specific topics include: fertilization, determination of cell fate and ...

and make use of molecular biology (which includes the foundations of all other biological disciplines). This includes and understanding of evolutionary mechanisms and systems behavior. The goal being ...

However, the understanding of their evolution will be extremely superficial in the absence of biological information on development and reproduction. Therefore, researchers examined the developmental ...

developmental, and cellular mechanisms that underlie the diversity we see in nature. Claudius is an Associate Professor of Evolutionary Biology at HiLIFE and Faculty of Biological and Environmental ...

Compared to animals, plants have been largely neglected in evolutionary developmental biology. Mainstream research has focused on developmental genetics, while a rich body of knowledge in comparative ...
