Similar Genetic Mechanisms Underlie the Parallel Evolution of Floral Phenotypes
(Public Library of Science, 2012)The repeated origin of similar phenotypes is invaluable for studying the underlying genetics of adaptive traits; molecular evidence, however, is lacking for most examples of such similarity. The floral morphology of ... -
Two developmental modules establish 3D beak-shape variation in Darwin's finches
(Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2011)Bird beaks display tremendous variation in shape and size, which is closely associated with the exploitation of multiple ecological niches and likely played a key role in the diversification of thousands of avian species. ...
