A theoretical characterization of morphofunctional and developmental modules: an approach to the study of the craniofacial complex.

Abstract excerpt

Modularity in biological systems is a central theme in current research. However, there are some problems related to the vague definitions of the concept of a module that impede both its empirical application and the comparison of data from different studies. In this article, we propose to characterize this concept which is consistent with the diverse ways in which it is conceptualized in the specialist...
