Progenesis as an intrinsic factor of ecological opportunity in a polyphenic amphibian
2021-02-01
Abstract excerpt
Paedomorphosis, a developmental heterochrony involving the retention of larval traits at the adult stage, is considered a major evolutionary process because it can generate phenotypic variation without requiring genetic modifications. Two main processes underlie paedomorphosis: neoteny, a slowdown of somatic development, and progenesis, a precocious maturation associated with body size reduction. Being essentially...
