Mech Dev 120:1351-83. 2003..We will review and compare a number of primary EMT events from across the metazoans, and point out some of the many open questions that remain in this field...
Pattern and morphogenesis of presumptive superficial mesoderm in two closely related species, Xenopus laevis and Xenopus tropicalisDavid R Shook
Department of Biology, University of Virginia, Gilmer Hall, Charlottesville, VA 22903, USA
Dev Biol 270:163-85. 2004..We present a revised fate map of Xenopus, and we discuss the conservation of superficial mesoderm within amphibians and across the chordates and its implications for the role of this tissue in patterning the mesoderm...

Department of Biology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia 22904 4328, USA
J Exp Zool B Mol Dev Evol 310:111-35. 2008..We also consider possible points where the conserved patterning pathways might diverge to produce different cell behaviors...

Department of Biology, University of Virginia, Charlottesville, Virginia 22904 4328, USA
J Exp Zool B Mol Dev Evol 310:85-110. 2008..Finally, we propose a model for the evolutionary transitions from gastrulation through a urodele amphibian-type blastopore to gastrulation through a primitive streak, as in chick or mouse...
