Development of the acoel worm Hofstenia miamia and the embryonic origin of neoblasts
Meeting Abstract 46-5 Sunday, Jan. 5 09:00 – 09:15 Development of the acoel worm Hofstenia miamia and the embryonic origin of neoblasts KIMURA, J*; RICCI, L; LUO, Y; SRIVASTAVA, M; Harvard University Julian_Kimura@g.harvard.edu Animals that are capable of “whole-body” regeneration are able to replace any missing cell type. Species that are able to undergo whole-body regeneration often […]
Studies in Turtle Shell Development Osteogenesis of an Evolutionarily Novel Structure
GILBERT, S.F.*; LOREDO, G.A.; BRUKMAN, A.; TUAN, R.: Studies in Turtle Shell Development: Osteogenesis of an Evolutionarily Novel Structure The turtle shell is an evolutionary novelty, a development of the osseous skeleton unique among vertebrates. The turtle shell is composed of a dorsal carapace, a ventral plastron, and a lateral bridge. The carapace contains fifty […]
Quantifying evolutionary modification of development in mammalian molar topography
JERNVALL, J.*; KER�NEN, S.V.E.; THESLEFF, I.: Quantifying evolutionary modification of development in mammalian molar topography Mammalian dentition is characterized by complex and diverse molar cusp patterns and subtle changes in molars are usually the earliest morphological evidence of modern orders in the fossil record. However, the exact ways that embryonic patterning of tooth shapes could […]
Ontogeny of the Extraembryonic Membranes in Oviparous Viviparous Lizards, Lacerta vivipara
STEWART, J.R.*; HEULIN, B.: Ontogeny of the Extraembryonic Membranes in Oviparous Viviparous Lizards, Lacerta vivipara. Lacerta vivipara is a reproductively bimodal species with allopatrically distributed viviparous and oviparous populations. Morphological, ecological and genetical similarities among populations indicate that oviparous and viviparous populations are closely related and diverged recently. This species provides a rare opportunity among […]
