Morphological evolution and embryonic developmental diversity in metazoa.
Most studies of pattern formation and morphogenesis in metazoans focus on a small number of model species, despite the fact that information about a wide range of species and developmental stages has accumulated in recent years. By contrast, this article attempts to use this broad knowledge base to arrive at a classification of developmental types through which metazoan body plans are generated...
متن کاملThe Evolution of Morphological Diversity
The diversity of organismic form has evolved nonuniformly during the history of life. Quantitative morphological studies reveal profound changes in evolutionary rates corresponding with the generation of morphological disparity at low taxonomic diversity during the early radiation of many clades. These studies have also given insight into the relative importance of genomic and ecological factor...
متن کاملChromosomal Aneuploidies and Early Embryonic Developmental Arrest
Background Selecting the best embryo for transfer, with the highest chance of achieving a vital pregnancy, is a major goal in current in vitro fertilization (IVF) technology. The high rate of embryonic developmental arrest during IVF treatment is one of the limitations in achieving this goal. Chromosomal abnormalities are possibly linked with chromosomal arrest and selection against abnormal fe...
متن کاملEvolution of sensory structures in basal metazoa.
Cnidaria have traditionally been viewed as the most basal animals with complex, organ-like multicellular structures dedicated to sensory perception. However, sponges also have a surprising range of the genes required for sensory and neural functions in Bilateria. Here, we: (1) discuss "sense organ" regulatory genes, including; sine oculis, Brain 3, and eyes absent, that are expressed in cnidari...
متن کاملThe Evolution of the Metazoa
The Evolution of the Metazoa by Jovan Hadzi will undoubtedly be one of the most significant and certainly controversial books to have appeared in the zoological literature for many years. In this work, Hadzi presents a new system of classification of the entire animal kingdom but even more significantly proposes a radically new theory of the evolution of the Metazoa. Hadzi's views have develope...
