Insect wings represent a pivotal evolutionary innovation that has underpinned the remarkable radiation of the Insecta. This field, at the intersection of evolution and developmental biology (evo-devo) ...

Studying evolution by focusing solely on fossils would leave many questions unanswered, but evolutionary developmental biology (otherwise known as “evo-devo”) helps fill in the gaps. Evo-devo ...

The evolutionary developmental biology of feathers and epidermal structures encompasses the intricate interplay of genetic regulation, biochemical signalling and mechanical forces that together drive ...

How the life histories, diets, and other ecological features of species evolve, and how these processes affect the composition and properties of communities and ecosystems; also, how species evolve in ...
