Understanding the mechanisms responsible for morphological evolution relies on knowledge of how genetic variation is translated during development, under the influence of the environment, into phenotypic variation. Which ontogenetic aspects influence the generation of morphological variation that has evolutionary significance? Specifically, we ask: does each stage in the developmental hie…
Ontogeny and phylogeny occur at distinct time scales, but they influence one another. Genotype is translated into phenotype during development, under the influence of the environment, producing natural variation that is the raw material for evolution. However, development is not homogeneous, and different stages of development may impact different phenotypic traits. I will test this hypot…
