Abstract Schizophrenia's (SZ's) heritability and familial transmission have been known for
several decades; however, despite the clear evidence for a genetic component, it has been …

The principle of homology is central to conceptualizing the comparative aspects of
morphological evolution. The distinctions between homologous or non-homologous …

Most butterfly wing patterns are proposed to be derived from a set of conserved pattern
elements known as symmetry systems. Symmetry systems are so-named because they are …

The vertebrate cranium is a prime example of the high evolvability of complex traits. While
evidence of genes and developmental pathways underlying craniofacial shape …

Definitions of macroevolution fall into three categories:(1) evolution of taxa of supraspecific
rank;(2) evolution on the grand time‐scale; and (3) evolution that is guided by sorting of …

Convergent phenotypic evolution is often caused by recurrent changes at particular nodes in
the underlying gene regulatory networks (GRNs). The genes at such evolutionary 'hotspots' …

The genetic and molecular analysis of trichome development in Arabidopsis thaliana has
generated a detailed knowledge about the underlying regulatory genes and networks …

One of the aims of evolutionary developmental biology is to discover the developmental
origins of morphological variation. The discipline has mainly focused on qualitative …

Understanding general principles about the origin of species remains one of the
foundational challenges in evolutionary biology. The genomic divergence between groups …

Speciation research bridges the realms of macro-and microevolution. Evolutionary
developmental biology (evo-devo) has classically dealt with macroevolutionary questions …
