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...
Rapid differentiation of plasticity in life history and morphology during invasive range expansion and concurrent local adaptation in the horned beetle Onthophagus taurus (2020)

Rapid differentiation of plasticity in life history and morphology during invasive range expansion and concurrent local adaptation in the horned beetle Onthophagus taurus (2020)

by admin | Jul 2, 2020 | Project Publications

Patrick T. Rohner | Armin P. Moczek ​Abstract Understanding the interplay between genetic differentiation, ancestral plasticity, and the evolution of plasticity during adaptation to environmental variation is critical to predict populations’ responses to environmental...
Integrating evolutionarily novel hornswithin the deeply conserved insect head (2020)

Integrating evolutionarily novel hornswithin the deeply conserved insect head (2020)

by admin | Jun 3, 2020 | Project Publications

David M. Linz | Armin P. Moczek   ​AbstractHow novel traits integrate within ancient trait complexes without compromising ancestral functions is a foundational challenge in evo-devo. The insect head represents an ancient body region patterned by a deeply conserved...
Nutrition-responsive gene expression and the developmental evolution of insect polyphenism (2020)

Nutrition-responsive gene expression and the developmental evolution of insect polyphenism (2020)

by admin | May 3, 2020 | Project Publications

Sofia Casasa | Eduardo E. Zattara | Armin P. Moczek   ​AbstractNutrition-responsive development is a ubiquitous and highly diversified example of phenotypic plasticity, yet its underlying molecular and developmental mechanisms and modes of evolutionary diversification...
Beetle horns evolved from wing serial homologs (2019)

Beetle horns evolved from wing serial homologs (2019)

by admin | Nov 22, 2019 | Project Publications

Yonggang Hu | David M. Linz | Armin P. Moczek   ​AbstractUnderstanding how novel complex traits originate is a foundational challenge in evolutionary biology. We investigated the origin of prothoracic horns in scarabaeine beetles, one of the most pronounced examples...
