Evolutionary Developmental Biology (eBook, PDF)

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Many changes that occur during the embryonic development of an individual animal can be seen as a parallel to changes that have occurred in species or groups of species during evolutionary time. This book covers the interaction between developmental and evolutionary changes in animals.
