Innovations and constraints in morphological evolution
Our research focuses on innovations and mechanisms that either facilitate or constrain evolutionary changes. Our main focus has been on conservation of the early organogenesis stage in vertebrates and on conservation of adult traits that are determined during that stage (i.e., the number of cervical vertebrae in mammals and the number of digits in tetrapods). We have found strong support for the important role of internal selection in shaping the adaptive evolution of body plans (i.e. selection caused by characteristics of the developmental system). Our data on internal selection have implications for human morbidity and lethality.

The data show that the presence of a modification of an evolutionary conserved structure, such as the presence of a rib on the seventh vertebra (a cervical rib, i.e. a change in the number of cervical vertebrae), can be used as a reliable indicator of disturbances of early embryogenesis. We have made use of this aspect in a study on the effects of hormonal treatments that are usually part of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) treatments. Using cervical rib frequencies we have shown that in mice Ovarian Hyper Stimulation (OHS) treatments have a continued effect on the mother during early pregnancy and lead to a disturbance of early organogenesis. We hope to further investigate the effects of different OHS treatments on early gene activity in mice to explore the genetic basis of pleiotropic effects associated with cervical ribs.

We have also studied the conservation of the early organogenesis stage in insects. We found that the robustness of the gene networks of the early organogenesis stage against mutational changes is surprisingly low. As a result of this, mutations have many associated effects and are usually deleterious (internal selection against mutations).

The results of our study on the conservation of the number of digits provides an important argument in the current controversy on the descent of birds from dinosaurs between developmental biologists and paleontologists. Our data on the evolutionary conservation of digit development are in support of the views of many developmental biologists that the identity of the digits in the wing of birds cannot be homologous to the identity of digits in the forelimbs of their hypothesized dinosaur ancestors, unless the identity of digits in theropods is erroneous. We have, therefore, proposed a re-appraisal of the fossil digit data of dinosaurs.

We have also studied developmental constraints in dogs, i.e. the negative consequences (pleiotropic effects) associated with extreme artificial selection for size in dogs. We have shown that for dogs the wide-spread notion that lifespan decreases with size is based on a misinterpretation of the data. We have shown, in a meta-analysis of the literature, that the very early deaths in dogs from large breeds are to an important extent the result of developmental diseases associated with the extremely high growth rates that have been co-selected with size.

Finally, we have studied the role of phenotypic plasticity (changes induced by the environment) and genetic assimilation in the process of adaptation and evolutionary change of cichlid fishes. We found that initial phenotypic changes (non-heritable changes) appear to facilitate the genetic assimilation of changes.

News and Announcements

NSF Solicitations 2012
Two components of NSF's Biology Directorate announce a significant change in proposal deadlines. This change is very important to SICB members who are considering submitting NSF proposals in the fields of Developmental Biology, including the development of the nervous system; on Evo/Devo research; and on research on Evolution and Systematics. It is effective immediately and will affect everyone who was planning to submit a proposal during 2012. We are no longer accepting full proposals in January. Instead, we will accept pre-proposals on January 12, 2012 and invite a subset of those to submit full proposals on August 2, 2012. Full proposals will not be accepted in January, and will be accepted in August by invitation only. If you are writing, or considering writing, a new proposal or a revision for January 2012, it must be submitted as a pre-proposal. If you were planning to submit a proposal during the summer of 2012, you must submit a pre-proposal in January 2012. An exception is proposals for CAREER awards, which may be submitted on the due date listed in the CAREER solicitation. They do not require pre-proposals.

New Open Access EvoDevo Journal
We would like to announce a brand new journal, EvoDevo (http://www.evodevojournal.com/) launched by BioMed Central, that is currently accepting manuscript submissions.

EvoDevo is an online, peer-reviewed open access journal that publishes articles associated with the translation of genotype to phenotype in a phylogenetic context. Understanding the history of life, the evolution of novelty and the generation of form, whether through embryogenesis, budding, or regeneration are amongst the greatest challenges in biology. We support the understanding of these processes though the many complementary approaches that characterize the field of evo-devo.

The focus of the journal is on research that promotes understanding of the pattern and process of morphological evolution. All articles that fulfill this aim will be welcome, including topics such as:

  • evolution of pattern formation

  • comparative gene function/expression

  • life history evolution

  • homology and character evolution

  • comparative genomics

  • phylogenetics and palaeontology

For further information on the journal and a list of the main areas of interest please see the 'About EvoDevo' page.

Submit your research to EvoDevo and take advantage of an efficient online submission process and a rapid, high quality peer-review service. There are no extra charges or limits on the number of color figures or movies you wish to include.

We are now accepting manuscripts to EvoDevo that will be modeled on Neural Development, a BioMed Central developmental neurobiology journal that you can find at www.neuraldevelopment.com. All BioMed Central journals are included in PubMed Central and other freely accessible full-text repositories. This complies with the open access policies of many funders including those of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, NIH, and Wellcome Trust.

So hurry up and submit your manuscript via our online submission system. For more information about the journal, contact editorial@evodevojournal.com or visit our instructions for authors.

Thanks!
