Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Functional factors such as optimal design and adaptive value have been the central concern of evolutionary biology since the advent of the New Synthesis. By contrast, evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) has concentrated primarily on structural factors such as the ways in which body parts can be built. These different emphases have stood in the way of an integrated understanding of the role of development in evolution. Here, we try to bridge this gap by outlining the relevance of functional factors in evo-devo. We use modularity and the view of development as a flexible evolutionary system to outline a unified perspective that includes both structural and functional aspects.
