DOI: 10.1002/jmor.21437
Abstract: Parrot embryos carry peculiar appendages at their developing beak that have been described as pseudoteeth. To better characterize the pattern of development responsible for the emergence of these dental appendages, we examined parrot embryos combining… read more here.

Abstract: Antlers are bony appendages of deer that undergo periodic regeneration from the top of permanent outgrowths (the pedicles) of the frontal bones. Of the "less familiar" bone types whose study was advocated by John Currey… read more here.

Abstract: Expansion of the neocortex is thought to underpin the higher cognitive abilities of a number of mammalian lineages, such as cetaceans, elephants, and primates, with humans exhibiting a particularly enlarged and dense cerebral cortex. However,… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.mod.2017.04.552
Abstract: The genetic and molecular mechanisms that underlie the amazing diversity of living species have been uncertain and contentious. We have been using stickleback fish as a model system to reveal how new traits evolve in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ydbio.2016.11.008
Abstract: Intensive artificial selection over thousands of years has produced hundreds of varieties of domestic pigeon. As Charles Darwin observed, the morphological differences among breeds can rise to the magnitude of variation typically observed among different… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fpsyg.2022.829083
Abstract: While influential works since the 1970s have widely assumed that imitation is an innate skill in both human and non-human primate neonates, recent empirical studies and meta-analyses have challenged this view, indicating other forms of… read more here.

Polyploidy as a Fundamental Phenomenon in Evolution, Development, Adaptation and Diseases

DOI: 10.3390/ijms23073542
Abstract: DNA replication during cell proliferation is ‘vertical’ copying, which reproduces an initial amount of genetic information. Polyploidy, which results from whole-genome duplication, is a fundamental complement to vertical copying. Both organismal and cell polyploidy can… read more here.
