How Maternal Genetic Effects Shape Developmental Evolution
Meeting Abstract 58-3 Sunday, Jan. 5 10:30 – 10:45 How Maternal Genetic Effects Shape Developmental Evolution ZAKAS, C*; ROCKMAN, M; North Carolina State University; New York University czakas@ncsu.edu Phenotypic evolution in animals is constrained by the mechanics of early development. Large-scale evolutionary changes are initially shaped by developmental program, where simple trade-offs can ultimately result in a […]
Examining the Evolution of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) Pathway Ligands in Insects
Meeting Abstract 58-2 Sunday, Jan. 5 10:15 – 10:30 Examining the Evolution of Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) Pathway Ligands in Insects TEWS, VH*; BARNETT, AA; DeSales University; DeSales Univeristy vt7905@desales.edu The EGF pathway is a highly conserved and ubiquitously used cell signaling cascade in the development of many animals. In the highly studied Drosophila melanogaster, four ligands […]
