From Developmental Constraint to Evolvability: How Concepts Figure in Explanation and Disciplinary Iticize neo-Darwinian evolutionary theory, critique does not yield an alternative framework that offers evolutionary explanations. In current Evo-devo the concept of constraint is of minor importance, whereas notions as evolvability are at the center of attention. The latter clearly defines an explan

In particular, the ideas exchanged at this meeting were the seed for an organismic turn, in which the systems properties of organisms assumed conceptual centrality. This point is illustrated with two examples: evolvability and homology. Evolvability, i.e. the ability to improv

Is Heterochrony Still an Effective Paradigm for Contemporary Studies of Evo-devo?is not an all-encompassing and exclusive role. Instead, a more nuanced view of heterochrony—as an important paradigm, but not the sole paradigm—provides a more comprehensive depiction and understanding of the developmental basis of evolutionary change.

In conclusion this chapters shows how robustness and homeostatic mechanisms are they key to understanding the evolution of conditional traits.

The Road to Facilitated Variation processes—weak linkage, exploratory behavior, compartmentation, and stabilization of the range of physiological variation—contribute to evolvability by facilitating phenotypic variation. This suggests a complementary formulation of Theodosius Dobzhansky’s famous dictum: nothing in evolution makes s
