Developmental and Non- developmental Morphospaces in Evolutionary Biology
Morphospace studies are rich in pattern and process. Techniques for adequate description and mapping of morphologies have been increasingly refined and applied, the same being true of metrics for relevant parameters (like disparity). However, the testing of process hypotheses for specific patterns of morphospace occupation in time and space is less refined and demands more intensive scrutiny. T...
متن کاملThe Concept of Morphospaces in Evolutionary and Developmental Biology: Mathematics and Metaphors
Simon M. Huttegger Department of Logic and Philosophy of Science University of California, Irvine Irvine, CA, USA [email protected] Abstract Formal spaces have become commonplace conceptual and computational tools in a large array of scientific disciplines, including both the natural and the social sciences. Morphological spaces (morphospaces) are spaces describing and relating organismal phenot...
متن کاملDevelopmental Paleobiology of the Vertebrate Skeleton.
Studies of the development of organisms can reveal crucial information on homology of structures. Developmental data are not peculiar to living organisms, and they are routinely preserved in the mineralized tissues that comprise the vertebrate skeleton, allowing us to obtain direct insight into the developmental evolution of this most formative of vertebrate innovations. The pattern of developm...
متن کاملPere Alberch’s Developmental Morphospaces and the Evolution of Cognition
Guillermo Lorenzo Departamento de Filologı́a Española, Facultad de Filologı́a Campus El Milán, Universidad de Oviedo, Oviedo, Spain [email protected] Abstract In this article we argue for an extension of Pere Alberch’s notion of developmental morphospace into the realm of cognition and introduce the notion of cognitive phenotype as a new tool for the evolutionary and developmental study of cogni...
متن کاملEvolutionary and developmental foundations
I. The core knowledge thesis What are the brain and cognitive systems that allow humans to play baseball, compute square roots, cook soufflés, or navigate the Tokyo subways? It may seem that studies of human infants and of non-human animals will tell us little about these abilities, because only educated, enculturated human adults engage in organized games, formal mathematics, gourmet cooking, ...
