Evidence for the reversibility of digit loss: a phylogenetic study of limb evolution in Bachia (Gymnophthalmidae: Squamata).

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Sept 2006

Kohlsdorf Tiana, Wagner Günter P

Abstract excerpt

Reevolution of lost characters constitutes evidence that the capacity for producing specific phenotypes may remain latent after a trait is lost and be transmitted over many generations without visible effect. Although some evolutionary changes are easily reversible, it can be argued that the reap...
