Mosaic heterochrony and evolutionary modularity: the trilobite genus Zacanthopsis as a case study.

Evolution; international journal of organic evolution - 1 Nov 2011

Gerber Sylvain, Hopkins Melanie J

Abstract excerpt

Logical connections exist between evolutionary modularity and heterochrony, two unifying and structuring themes in the expanding field of evolutionary developmental biology. The former sees complex phenotypes as being made up of semi-independent units of evolutionary transformation; the latter requires such a modular organization of phenotypes to occur in a localized or mosaic fashion. This conceptual...
