The future of evo–devo: model systems and evolutionary theory // Nature Reviews Genetics 10, 416-422 (June 2009) doi:10.1038/nrg2567 Perspective Nature Reviews Genetics 10, 416-422 (June 2009) | doi:10.1038/nrg2567 OPINIONThe future of evo–devo: model systems and evolutionary theoryRalf J. Sommer1 About the author top AbstractThere has been a recent trend in evolutionary developmental biology (evo–devo) towards using increasing numbers of model species. I argue that, to understand phenotypic change and novelty, researchers who investigate evo–devo in animals should choose a limited number of model organisms in which to develop a sophisticated methodological tool kit for functional investigations. Furthermore, a synthesis of evo–devo with population genetics and evolutionary ecology is needed to meet future challenges. Author affiliations
