Reviews in Evolutionary Developmental Biology

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution is delighted to launch Reviews in Evolutionary Developmental Biology, an article collection dedicated to publishing high-quality scholarly review papers. This initiative is set to become a platform for synthesizing and critically assessing key topics across the broad spectrum of Evolutionary Developmental Biology.A primary objective of this collection is to highlight recent advances in this field. Review papers are vital for consolidating the rapidly expanding body of new research, critically evaluating novel methodologies, and identifying emerging theoretical frameworks. Importantly, Reviews in Evolutionary Developmental Biology will also place strong emphasis on articulating important directions and new possibilities for future inquiries. This forward-looking aspect is central to our mission to actively shape the discourse in this field.We welcome reviews covering a broad range of topics within the discipline, including but not limited to:-The evo-devo of human cognition and language-Comparative embryology-Morphological innovation-Developmental constraints-Vertebrate evolution-Craniofacial development-Body-plan diversificationTo cater to varying scopes and depths, the collection welcomes full-length, mini, and systematic review papers. Full-length reviews provide comprehensive overviews, mini reviews offer focused discussions on recent breakthroughs, and systematic reviews utilize rigorous methodologies to synthesize evidence. New articles will be added as they are published.
