Wing serial homologues and the diversification of insect outgrowths: insights from the pupae of scarab beetles (2021)

Wing serial homologues and the diversification of insect outgrowths: insights from the pupae of scarab beetles (2021)

by admin | Feb 14, 2021 | Moczek Lab, Project Publications

Yonggang Hu | Armin P. Moczek   ​AbstractModification of serially homologous structures is a common avenue towards functional innovation in developmental evolution, yet ancestral affinities among serial homologues may be obscured as structure-specific modifications...

From descent with modification to the origins of novelty (2021)

by admin | Feb 14, 2021 | Moczek Lab, Project Publications

David M. Linz | Yonggang Hu | Armin P. Moczek   ​AbstractDescent with modification is the foundational framework of all of evolution. Yet evolutionary novelties are defined as lacking affinities to structures that already existed in the ancestral state, i.e. to...

Developmental bias in horned dung beetles and its contributions to innovation, adaptation, and resilience (2019)

by admin | Sep 2, 2019 | Moczek Lab

Yonggang Hu | David M. Linz | Erik S. Parker | Daniel B. Schwab | Sofia Casasa | Anna L. M. Macagno | Armin P. Moczek AbstractDevelopmental processes transduce diverse influences during phenotype formation, thereby biasing and structuring amount and type of phenotypic...

On the Reciprocally Causal and Constructive Nature of Developmental Plasticity and Robustness (2019)

by admin | Jan 10, 2019 | Moczek Lab

Daniel B. Schwab | Sofia Casasa | Armin P. Moczek AbstractExposure to environmental variation is a characteristic feature of normal development, one that organisms can respond to during their lifetimes by actively adjusting or maintaining their phenotype in order to...

Developmental Bias and Evolution: A Regulatory Network Perspective (2018)

by admin | Aug 1, 2018 | Moczek Lab

Tobias Uller | Armin P. Moczek | Richard A. Watson | Paul M. Brakefield | Kevin N. Laland AbstractPhenotypic variation is generated by the processes of development, with some variants arising more readily than others—a phenomenon known as “developmental bias.”...
