Cracking open the blackbox of genotype-phenotype map: crossing the explanatory gap between micro- and macroevolution.

Abstract excerpt

A key insight of evolutionary genetics is that the evolvability of a population depends crucially on the amount and distribution of heritable phenotypic variation across traits. Because this insight focuses on segregating variation, the traits that do not vary among individuals but differ among higher taxa are ignored. Slowly evolving traits, like body plan organization and homologs, are nevertheless essential...
