That biological features may change their function during evolution has long been recognized. Particularly, the acquisition of new functions by molecules involved in developmental pathways is suspected to cause important morphologic novelties. However, the current terminology describing functional c

## Abstract Classic hypotheses of vertebrate morphology are being informed by new data and new methods. Long nascent issues, such as the origin of tetrapod limbs, are being explored by paleontologists, molecular biologists, and functional anatomists. Progress in this arena will ultimately come down

✍ Andreas Wagner 📂 Article 📅 2008 🏛 John Wiley and Sons 🌐 English ⚖ 125 KB

## Abstract Mutational robustness facilitates evolutionary innovations. Gene duplications are unique kinds of mutations, in that they generally increase such robustness. The frequent association of gene duplications in regulatory networks with evolutionary innovation is thus a special case of a gen

## Abstract Comprehending the origin of marine invertebrate larvae remains a key domain of research for evolutionary biologists, including the repeated origin of direct developmental modes in echinoids. In order to address the latter question, we surveyed existing evidence on relationships of homol

## Abstract Although the zebrafish has become a popular model organism for biomedical studies, we propose that the wealth of morphological novelties that characterize this cypriniform fish makes it well suited for investigating the development of evolutionary innovations. Morphological novelties as
