Abstract excerpt
Comparative analyses revealed considerable differences in embryonic pattern formation and cell-specification between Caenorhabditis elegans and Acrobeloides nanus, members of two neighboring nematode clades. While C.elegans develops very rapidly, A. nanus needs 4-5 times as long. To investigate whether differences during early embryogenesis could be related to developmental tempo, we studied three more slowly...
