Abstract excerpt
On macroevolutionary time scales, the same genes can regulate the development of homologous structures through strikingly different cellular processes. Comparing the development of similar morphological traits in closely related species may help elucidate the evolutionary dissociation between pattern formation and morphogenesis. We address this question by focusing on the interspecific differences in sex comb...
