## Abstract In this paper, several hypotheses of morphological integration within the hominoid (ape) scapula are tested. In particular, whether the scapula represents a set of developmental tissues sharing tight correlations between constituent parts (i.e., highly integrated) or is more modularly o

## Abstract Segmentation is one of the most salient characteristics of arthropods, and differentiation of segments along the body axis is the basis of arthropod diversification. This article evaluates whether the evolution of segmentation involves the differentiation of already independent units, i
## Abstract The phylotypic stage is the developmental stage at which vertebrates most resemble each other. In this study we test the plausibility of the hypotheses of Sander [1983, __Development and Evolution__, Cambridge University Press] and Raff [1994, __Early Life on Earth__, Columbia Universit
## Abstract Morphological integration and modularity are important points of intersection between evolution and the development of organismal form. Identification and quantification of integration are also of increasing paleoanthropological interest. In this study, the βposterior face,β i.e., the m
