Evolutionary developmental biology is howevermore than just a fusion of the fields of developmental andevolutionary biology. It forges a unification of genomic,developmental, organismal, population and natural selection approachesto evolutionary change. It is concerned with how developmentalprocesses evolve; how evolution produces novel structures, functionsand behaviours; and how development, evolution and ecology areintegrated to bring about and stabilize evolutionary change. .The previous edition of this title, published in 1992, defined theterms and laid out the field for evolutionary developmental biology.This field is now one of the most active and fast growing withinbiology and this is reflected in this second edition, which is morethan twice the length of the original and brought completely up todate. There are new chapters on major transitions in animal evolution,expanded coverage of comparative embryonic development and theinclusion of recent advances in ge | 出版日期 | Book 1999Latest edition | 关键词 | Metazoa; development; developmental biology; embryology; evolution; evolutionary biology; morphology; ontog | 版次 | 2 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-94-011-3961-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-0-412-78590-0 | isbn_ebook | 978-94-011-3961-8 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht 1999 |
