Conserved developmental processes and the formation of evolutionary novelties: examples from butterfly wings.

Philosophical transactions of the Royal Society of London. Series B, Biological sciences - 27 Apr 2008

Abstract excerpt

The origin and diversification of evolutionary novelties-lineage-specific traits of new adaptive value-is one of the key issues in evolutionary developmental biology. However, comparative analysis of the genetic and developmental bases of such traits can be difficult when they have no obvious homologue in model organisms. The finding that the evolution of morphological novelties often involves the recruitment of...
