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, ...

But in the last decade, these studies have intensified and even spawned a new field of study: evolutionary developmental biology, or, as it's often known, "evo-devo.'' Using new techniques of ...

Understanding such ‘developmental biases’ can enable ... a general discussion of some of the central topics in evolutionary biology from the perspective of the extended evolutionary synthesis ...

The other area of my efforts is in how to design, assess, and effectively teach students to understand, appreciate, and make use of molecular biology (which includes the foundations of all other ...

Advanced Cell Biology (BIOL 100B): explores how cells function independently and within their environments. The structure of organelles, their function, movement within and around cells, and how cells ...

Mammals have exceptional hearing. Using echolocation, bats can detect tiny insects flying in pitch-black darkness. Elephants can recognize the calls of their companions from roughly a mile away. And ...

The program in Evolutionary Biology is designed to provide students with knowledge of macro- and micro-evolutionary processes underlying the evolution and diversification of life on Earth and an ...

via population genetics - is in need of an extension in order to incorporate recent findings in epigenetics and evolutionary developmental biology. Birch, J. (forthcoming). Kin Selection, Group ...

And evolutionary developmental biology is revealing new mechanisms that regulate the expression of small genetic changes in ways that can have a large effect on phenotype. Which evolutionary ...

The Max Planck Institute for Biology (name changed at the end of 2021 from Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology) is concerned with the development and evolution of animals and plants. The ...
