Evolution in reverse gear: the molecular basis of loss and reversal.

Cold Spring Harbor symposia on quantitative biology - 1 Jan 2009

Cronk Q C B

Abstract excerpt

Three types of regressive evolution are reviewed: loss, reversal, and regain after loss. Loss refers to the loss of a physical entity, either a structure or an organ, whereas reversals apply to character states returning to plesiomorphic from apomorphic conditions. The regain of characters after...
