The fossil record of phenotypic integration and modularity: A deep-time perspective on developmental and evolutionary dynamics.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 21 Apr 2015

Goswami Anjali, Binder Wendy J, Meachen Julie, O'Keefe F Robin

Abstract excerpt

Variation is the raw material for natural selection, but the factors shaping variation are still poorly understood. Genetic and developmental interactions can direct variation, but there has been little synthesis of these effects with the extrinsic factors that can shape biodiversity over large scales. The study of phenotypic integration and modularity has the capacity to unify these aspects of evolutionary study...
