Morphometrics and the role of the phenotype in studies of the evolution of developmental mechanisms.

Gene - 3 Apr 2002

Klingenberg Christian Peter

Abstract excerpt

Developmental mechanisms are usually assumed to evolve by natural selection of the morphological traits they produce. Therefore, information on phenotypic traits is an important component of comparative studies of development. Morphometrics permits the rigorous quantitative analysis of variation in organismal size and shape, and is increasingly being used in developmental contexts. The new methods of...
