Article

Developmental origins of mosaic evolution in the avian cranium.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 16 Jan 2018

Felice Ryan N, Goswami Anjali

Abstract excerpt

Mosaic evolution, which results from multiple influences shaping morphological traits and can lead to the presence of a mixture of ancestral and derived characteristics, has been frequently invoked in describing evolutionary patterns in birds. Mosaicism implies the hierarchical organization of organismal traits into semiautonomous subsets, or modules, which reflect differential genetic and developmental origins....
