  2. Evolutionary developmental biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_developmental...

    These genes have been highly conserved through hundreds of millions of years of evolution. [1] Evolutionary developmental biology (informally, evo-devo) is a field of biological research that compares the developmental processes of different organisms to infer how developmental processes evolved.

  3. Evolutionary biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_biology

    Evolutionary biology is the subfield of biology that studies the evolutionary processes (natural selection, common descent, speciation) that produced the diversity of life on Earth. It is also defined as the study of the history of life forms on Earth. Evolution holds that all species are related and gradually change over generations. [1]

    The newer field of evolutionary developmental biology ("evo-devo") investigates how embryogenesis is controlled, thus yielding a wider synthesis that integrates developmental biology with the fields of study covered by the earlier evolutionary synthesis.

  5. Human evolutionary developmental biology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_evolutionary...

    Human evolutionary developmental biology or informally human evo-devo is the human-specific subset of evolutionary developmental biology. Evolutionary developmental biology is the study of the evolution of developmental processes across different organisms. It is utilized within multiple disciplines, primarily evolutionary biology and anthropology.

  6. Outline of evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outline_of_evolution

    Inversion (evolutionary biology) – Hypothesis in developmental biology; Mosaic evolution – Evolution of characters at various rates both within and between species; Parallel evolution – Similar evolution in distinct species; Quantum evolution – Evolution where transitional forms are particularly unstable and do not last long

  7. Evolutionary ecology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolutionary_ecology

    According to Ernst Mayr, professor of zoology at Harvard University, Darwin's most distinct contributions to evolutionary biology and ecology are as follows: "The first is the non-constancy of species, or the modern conception of evolution itself. The second is the notion of branching evolution, implying the common descent of all species of ...

  8. Introduction to evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Introduction_to_evolution

    In biology, evolution is the process of change in all forms of life over generations, and evolutionary biology is the study of how evolution occurs. Biological populations evolve through genetic changes that correspond to changes in the organisms ' observable traits .

  9. Applications of evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applications_of_evolution

    Evolutionary biology, in particular the understanding of how organisms evolve through natural selection, is an area of science with many practical applications. [1] [2] Creationists often claim that the theory of evolution lacks any practical applications; however, this claim has been refuted by scientists.
