Floral KNOX Expression Supports Parallel Evolution of Nectar Spurs in Snapdragon Relatives (Antirrhineae: Plantaginaceae)
Nectar spurs are tubular outgrowths of perianth tissue—a key innovation that has evolved many times independently in angiosperms. These novel floral structures are tightly linked to pollination and pollinator shifts may explain their rol...

Sexual Dimorphism in Vertebral Number: Developmental Implications Inferred From Vertebral and Body Proportions
Segmentation is a fundamental feature of vertebrate body plans, and variation in vertebral number contributes substantially to morphological diversity. Although sexual dimorphism in vertebral number has been documented in several vertebr...

A Young ahsg/fetuin‐a Inactive Retrocopy Reflects Recent Retrotransposon Activity in the Xenopus laevis Lineage
The vertebrate ahsg ( alpha 2‐HS glycoprotein , also coined fetuin‐a ) homologs are highly expressed in the liver, and their secreted protein products exert complex systemic effects, including the regulation of biomineralization of soft ...

Cross‐Kingdom Structural Conservation and Diversification of Homeodomains Across Major Eukaryotic Lineages
Homeodomain transcription factors share an ancient helix‐turn‐helix DNA‐binding core yet regulate diverse developmental and reproductive programs across eukaryotes. We curated 355 nonredundant homeodomain structures spanning fungi, anima...

Wing Shape and Color Pattern Modifications in Giant Silk Moths Using Sulfated Polysaccharides: Understanding Morphogenic Signals in Pupal Wings of Lepidoptera
The tails and conspicuous eyespots of many saturniid moths are outstanding examples of anti‐predator adaptations. These features vary intra‐ and interspecifically, and while there are hypotheses regarding the selective pressures that mai...

Two Paralogues as They Like It: Conserved and Divergent Evolution of Vertebrate Gcm Genes
Gcm1 and Gcm2 are paralogous transcription factors in vertebrates that play key roles in the development of pharyngeal‐derived epithelia, yet their deployment across vertebrate lineages remains incompletely understood. While Gcm2 shows d...

Terminal Filament Bundling Underlies the Development of Ovariole Number Dimorphism Between Queen and Worker Ants
Reproductive division of labour is a key feature underlying the remarkable success of ants, where a reproductive queen caste and non‐reproductive worker caste develop from a totipotent egg or larva. The number of ovarioles that develop a...

Embryonic Torsion and Axial Rotation in Developing Amniotes: Pattern Distribution, Functional Aspects, and Evolutionary Significance
Early amniote development includes a striking but underappreciated event: rightward torsion (“twisting”) of the head and trunk followed by axial rotation that positions the embryo's left side against the yolk. Although well documented in...

Patterns of Autonomous and Conditional Neural Specification for the Brain and Ventral Nerve Cord in Annelida
Evolution of central nervous systems is a long‐debated topic. Similar mechanisms of conditional neural specification linked to dorsal‐ventral (D–V) axis formation have been used to support homology across several taxa. We tested for auto...
