Considerably less time has been spent on the exploitation of the wealth of facts and concepts available from traditional disciplines, such as comparative morphology, even though these traditional approaches can continue to offer a fresh insight into evolutionary developmental questions. The Development of Animal Form aims to integrate traditional morphological and contemporary molecular genetic approaches and to deal with post-embryonic development as well. This approach leads to unconventional views on the basic features of animal organization, such as body axes, symmetry, segments, body regions, appendages and related concepts. This book will be of particular interest to graduate students and researchers in evolutionary and developmental biology, as well as to those in related areas of cell biology, genetics and zoology. 606 $aDevelopmental biology 606 $aOntogeny 606 $aMorphology 606 $aEvolution (Biology) 615 0$aDevelopmental biology. 615 0$aOntogeny. 615 0$aMorphology. 615 0$aEvolution (Biology) 676 $a571.3/1 700 $aMinelli$b Alessandro$07718 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817269003321 996 $aThe development of animal form$94034393 997 $aUNINA
