The analysis of ontogenetic trajectories: when a change in size or shape is not heterochrony.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America - 4 Feb 1997

Rice S H

Abstract excerpt

Heterochrony has become a central organizing concept relating development and evolution. Unfortunately, the standard definition of heterochrony--evolutionary change in the rate or timing of developmental processes--is so broad as to apply to any case of phenotypic evolution. Conversely, the stand...
