Homology - a similar trait shared by different species and derived from common ancestry, such as a seal's fin and a bird's wing - is one of the most fundamental yet challenging concepts in evolutionary biology. This ground-breaking book provides the first mechanistically based t…

Principles of developmental genetics
Technological advances in genetic/genomic and protein expression analyses as well as bioinformatics are having a major impact on experimental approaches and analytic design. 'Principles of Developmental Genetics' highlights the intersection of developmental biology with new func…
How can we bring together the study of genes, embryos and fossils? Embryos in Deep Time is a critical synthesis of the study of individual development in fossils. It brings together an up-to-date review of concepts from comparative anatomy, ecology and developmental genetics, an…
"Can fossil embryos demonstrate evolutionary changes in reproductive modes? How have changes in ocean chemistry in the past affected the development of marine organisms? What can the microstructure of fossil bone and teeth reveal about maturation time, longevity, and changes in …

Annotation
Explores the debate on the biological significance and cultural meaning of genes in the development of organisms -- the molecular paradigm.
Illuminating the processes and patterns that link genotype to phenotype, epigenetics seeks to explain features, characters, and developmental mechanisms that can only be understood in terms of interactions that arise above the level of the gene. With chapters written by leading …
