Morphological evolution in sea urchin development: hybrids provide insights into the pace of evolution.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Apr 2004

Byrne Maria, Voltzow Janice

Abstract excerpt

Hybridisations between related species with divergent ontogenies can provide insights into the bases for evolutionary change in development. One example of such hybridisations involves sea urchin species that exhibit either standard larval (pluteal) stages or those that develop directly from embryo to adult without an intervening feeding larval stage. In such crosses, pluteal features were found to be restored in...
