Evolution in developmental phenotype space.

Abstract excerpt

Developmental systems can produce a variety of patterns and morphologies when the molecular and cellular activities within them are varied. With the advent of quantitative modeling, the range of phenotypic output of a developmental system can be assessed by exploring model parameter space. Here I review recent examples where developmental evolution is studied using quantitative models, which increasingly rely on...
