The echinoderms are an ideal group to understand evolution from a
holistic, interdisciplinary framework. The genetic regulatory
networks underpinning development in echinoderms are some of the
best known for any model group. Additionally, the echinoderms have
an excellent fossil record, elucidating in in detail the
evolutionary changes underpinning morphological evolution. In this
Element, the echinoderms are discussed as a model group for
molecular palaeobiological studies, integrating what is known of
their development, genomes, and fossil record. Together, these
insights shed light on the molecular and morphological evolution
underpinning the vast biodiversity of echinoderms, and the animal
kingdom more generally.
