The evolution of patterning of serially homologous appendages in insectsElizabeth L Jockusch
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut, U 3043, 75 N Eagleville Rd, Storrs, CT 06269, USA
Dev Genes Evol 214:324-38. 2004....
Hypothesis testing in evolutionary developmental biology: a case study from insect wingsE L Jockusch
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, 75 N Eagleville Rd, U 3043, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269, USA
J Hered 95:382-96. 2004..Here we review data that bear on this assumption, including new data on the functions of wingless and decapentaplegic during appendage allocation in the red flour beetle Tribolium castaneum...
Phylogenetic analysis of the Wnt gene family and discovery of an arthropod wnt-10 orthologueE L Jockusch
Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721, USA
J Exp Zool 288:105-19. 2000..We found little rate variation across taxa, with the exception that Drosophila Wnt-1 is evolving more rapidly than all vertebrate and most arthropod orthologues...
Relationships among pest flour beetles of the genus Tribolium (Tenebrionidae) inferred from multiple molecular markersDavid R Angelini
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269 3043, USA
Mol Phylogenet Evol 46:127-41. 2008..However, a sister group relationship between this clade and Tribolium brevicornis (Leconte 1859) is not supported. The inferred phylogeny provides an evolutionary framework for comparative studies using flour beetles...
Extreme population subdivision throughout a continuous range: phylogeography of Batrachoseps attenuatus (Caudata: Plethodontidae) in western North AmericaIñigo Martínez-Solano
Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California, Berkeley, 3101 VLSB, Berkeley, California 94720, USA
Mol Ecol 16:4335-55. 2007....
The roles of wingless and decapentaplegic in axis and appendage development in the red flour beetle, Tribolium castaneumKaren A Ober
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, 75 N Eagleville Rd, U 3043, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269, USA
Dev Biol 294:391-405. 2006..Phylogenetic comparisons indicate that the role of WNT signaling in segment boundary formation is evolutionarily old, but that its role in appendage allocation originated in the common ancestor of holometabolous insects...
Genetic patterning in the adult capitate antenna of the beetle Tribolium castaneumDavid R Angelini
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut, 75 N Eagleville Road, Storrs, CT 06269 3043, USA
Dev Biol 327:240-51. 2009..castaneum. This model provides a contrast to knowledge of antenna development in D. melanogaster, insight into the likely ancestral mode of antenna development, and a framework for considering diverse antenna morphologies...
Body size evolution simultaneously creates and collapses species boundaries in a clade of scincid lizardsJonathan Q Richmond
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut, Storrs, CT 06269 3043, USA
Proc Biol Sci 274:1701-8. 2007..These results provide evidence of reversed speciation between clades that diverged from a common ancestor more than 12Myr ago...
The expression of wingless and Engrailed in developing embryos of the mayfly Ephoron leukon (Ephemeroptera: Polymitarcyidae)Brigid C O'Donnell
Department of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology, University of Connecticut, 75 North Eagleville Road, Storrs, CT 06269, USA
Dev Genes Evol 220:11-24. 2010..Future work in mayflies can be used to determine if conservation extends to other components of the segmentation hierarchy...
Why is limb regeneration possible in amphibians but not in reptiles, birds, and mammals?Frietson Galis
Institute of Evolutionary and Ecological Sciences, Leiden University, P O Box 9516, 2300RA Leiden, The Netherlands
Evol Dev 5:208-20. 2003..Furthermore, they suggest that whatever barriers amphibians overcame in the evolution of metamorphosis, they are the same barriers that need to be overcome to make limb regeneration possible in other taxa...
