There has been a recent trend in evolutionary developmental biology (evo–devo) towards using increasing numbers of model species. I argue that, to understand phenotypic change and novelty ...

germband-based patterning in the cricket Gryllus bimaculatus or the beetle Tribolium castaneum, to more or less simultaneous, blastoderm-based patterning in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster ...

Withdrawal is essential for development and has been a morphogenetic puzzle. Here, we use new fluorescent transgenic lines in the beetle Tribolium castaneum to show that the EE tissues dynamically ...
