The evolution of segmentation is one of the central questions in
evolutionary developmental biology. Indeed, it is one of the best
case studies for the role of changes in development in the
evolution of body plans. Segmented body plans are believed to have
appeared several times in animal evolution, and to have contributed
significantly to the evolutionary success of the taxa in which they
are present. Because of the centrality of the subject, and the
continuing interest in understanding segmentation, this book offers
an often overlooked focus on the cellular aspects of the process of
segmentation, providing an invaluable reference for students of
evolutionary developmental biology at all levels. Key Features
Explores the role that segmentation has played in the diversity of
animals Documents the diverse cellular mechanisms by which
segmentation develops Reviews the independent evolutionary origins
of segmentation Provides insight into the general patterns of
serial homology at the cellular level Related Titles Lynne Bianchi.
