This journal publishes research on evolutionary developmental biology, focusing on how developmental processes influence evolutionary change. Articles investigate gene evolution, including the roles of taxonomically restricted genes, gene duplication, and transcription factors in shaping novel traits. Studies also explore developmental plasticity, morphological evolution, and the genetic basis of phenotypic variation across diverse taxa, from unicellular organisms to vertebrates.
Based on the Think.Check.Submit framework by DOAJ, COPE & OASPA. All data from verified open sources.
