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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
