Abstract: In spite of the diversity of possible biological forms observed in nature, a limited range of morphospace is frequently occupied for a given trait. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain this bias in the distribution of phenotypes including selection, drift, and developmental constraints. Despite extensive work on phenotypic bias, the underlying developmental mechanisms explaining why particular regions of morphological space remain unoccupied are poorly understood. To address this issue, we studied … Show more

“…However, with the emergence of Ecological Evolutionary Developmental Biology (EcoEvo-Devo), we are now in a position to experimentally address this question (5,11). Eco-Evo-Devo studies on butterfly eyespots (11), plate armor on three-spine stickleback fish (12), supersoldier ants (13), pigmentation in mice (14), male antennae in water striders (15), and now sex combs in flies (6), highlight the inextricable interplay between developmental constraints and selection during evolution.…”
