Complex constraints on allometry revealed by artificial selection on the wing of Drosophila melanogaster
Bolstad, Geir Hysing; Cassara, Jason A.; Marquez, Eladio; Hansen, Thomas F; van der Linde, Kim; Houle, David; Pelabon, Christophe (Journal article, 2015)Precise exponential scaling with size is a fundamental aspect of phenotypic variation. These allometric power laws are often invariant across taxa and have long been hypothesized to reflect developmental constraints. Here ... -
Evolution of morphological allometry
Pelabon, Christophe; Firmat, Cyril Joel Patrick; Bolstad, Geir Hysing; Voje, Kjetil L.; Houle, David; Cassara, Jason; Le Rouzic, Arnaud; Hansen, Thomas F (Journal article, 2014)Morphological allometry refers to patterns of covariance between body parts resulting from variation in body size. Whether measured during growth (ontogenetic allometry), among individuals at similar developmental stage ... -
Evolvability A Unifying Concept in Evolutionary Biology?
Hansen, Thomas Fredrik; Houle, David; Pavlicev, Mihaela; Pelabon, Christophe (Book, 2023)Essays on evolvability from the perspectives of quantitative and population genetics, evolutionary developmental biology, systems biology, macroevolution, and the philosophy of science. Evolvability—the capability of ...
