Evolutionary developmental biology, or evo‐devo, investigates how evolution shapes developmental processes to generate the diversity of life. It synthesises comparative embryology, genetics and ...

The conservation of genome regulatory elements over long periods of evolution is not limited to vertebrates, as previously ...

The evolutionary developmental biology of feathers and epidermal structures encompasses the intricate interplay of genetic regulation, biochemical signalling and mechanical forces that together drive ...

Developmental biology has come of age / Donald D. Brown -- Expression and developmental regulation of the maize Spm transposable element / J.A. Banks, P. Masson and N.V. Fedoroff -- Chicken antibody ...

A recent paper provides an updated perspective on the evolutionary history of chelicerates—a diverse and ecologically significant group of arthropods that includes spiders, scorpions, mites, and ...

Erik Svensson receives funding from from the Swedish Research Council (VR; grant no. 2020-03123). How will life on Earth and the ecosystems that support it adapt to climate change? Which species will ...

Harvard Faculty of Arts and Sciences has officially voted to change the name of the Human Evolutionary Biology concentration during a meeting on April 1. Effective as of July 1, 2025 — when the ...

The world’s oceans are home to an exquisite variety of sharks and rays, from the largest fishes in the sea—the majestic whale shark and manta rays—to the luminescent but rarely seen deep-water lantern ...

Have you ever looked at a human embryo and thought, “That kind of looks like a fish”? If you haven’t, you might be surprised to learn that, in a way, we all begin our lives like this. The idea that ...

The program in Evolutionary Biology is designed to provide students with knowledge of macro- and micro-evolutionary processes underlying the evolution and diversification of life on Earth and an ...
