Aims and scope
Development Genes and Evolution publishes high-quality reports on all aspects of developmental and evolutionary biology. This builds on the journal’s long history of focusing on developmental mechanisms from a broad perspective. The topics covered by the journal are exemplified by the following themes:
- Developmental processes of all life stages in model and non-model organisms
- Developmental diversity and evolution of plants and animals
- Genes and pattern formation, cell lineages and fate maps
- Cellular mechanisms of morphogenesis and organogenesis
- Stem cells and regeneration in development and evolution
- Quantitative genetics and functional genomics of developmental processes
- Evolution of developmentally relevant genes
- Ecological influence on developmental and evolutionary processes (eco-evo-devo)
