This book represents an effort to understand very old questions
about biological form, function, and the relationships between
them. The essays collected here reflect the diversity of approaches
in evolutionary developmental biology (Evo Devo), including not
only studies by prominent scientists whose research focuses on
topics concerned with evolution and development, but also
historically and conceptually oriented studies that place the
scientific work within a larger framework and ask how it can be
pushed further. Topics under discussion range from the use of
theoretical and empirical biomechanics to understand the evolution
of plant form, to detailed studies of the evolution of development
and the role of developmental constraints on phenotypic variation.
The result is a rich and interdisciplinary volume that will begin a
wider conversation about the shape of Evo Devo as it matures as a
field.
