The new field of evolutionary developmental biology is one of the
most exciting areas of contemporary biology. The fundamental
principle of evolutionary developmental biology ("evo-devo") is
that evolution acts through inherited changes in the development of
the organism. "Evo-devo" is not merely a fusion of the fields of
developmental and evolutionary biology, the grafting of a
developmental perspective onto evolutionary biology, or the
incorporation of an evolutionary perspective into developmental
biology. Evo-devo strives for a unification of genomic,
developmental, organismal, population, and natural selection
approaches to evolutionary change. It draws from development,
evolution, paleontology, ecology, and molecular and systematic
biology, but has its own set of questions, approaches, and methods.
"Keywords and Concepts in Evolutionary Developmental Biology"
is the first comprehensive reference work for this expanding field.
Covering more than fifty central terms and concepts in entries
written by leading experts, Keywords offers an overview of all that
is embraced by this new subdiscipline of biology, providing the
core insights and ideas that show how embryonic development relates
to life-history evolution, adaptation, and responses to and
integration with environmental factors.
