Evolutionary eye loss has occurred in multiple phyla in species that inhabit dark environments, but few of those species have been studied thus far. Here they show that cave planarians retain ...

Our research focus is on the phenotype and factors affecting its evolution. For most projects, we use the mammalian dentition that offers a rich array of interrelated data on development, function, ...

The other area of my efforts is in how to design, assess, and effectively teach students to understand, appreciate, and make use of molecular biology (which includes the foundations of all other ...

But in the last decade, these studies have intensified and even spawned a new field of study: evolutionary developmental biology, or, as it's often known, "evo-devo.'' Using new techniques of ...

Advanced Cell Biology (BIOL 100B): explores how cells function independently and within their environments. The structure of organelles, their function, movement within and around cells, and how cells ...

via population genetics - is in need of an extension in order to incorporate recent findings in epigenetics and evolutionary developmental biology. Birch, J. (forthcoming). Kin Selection, Group ...

The Max Planck Institute for Biology (name changed at the end of 2021 from Max Planck Institute for Developmental Biology) is concerned with the development and evolution of animals and plants. The ...

And evolutionary developmental biology is revealing new mechanisms that regulate the expression of small genetic changes in ways that can have a large effect on phenotype. Which evolutionary ...

Comparison of the single-cell inner ear atlas between the highly regenerative Xenopus laevis and mice reveals evolution of auditory ... between the effects of developmental temperature and body ...

Core to our advances is the use and development of state-of-the-art methods combining evolutionary genomics (bioinformatics), engineering biology, the diversity of past (palaeobiology and ...

The IEB team members share a passion for exploring the underpinnings of phenotypic diversity. The research that we conduct in the IEB lab spans several disciplines including genomics, developmental ...
