A double segment periodicity underlies segment generation in centipede development
Chipman, Ariel D; Arthur, Wallace; Akam, Michael (Elsevier BV, 2004-07-01)The number of leg-bearing segments in centipedes varies extensively, between 15 and 191, and yet it is always odd [1, 2]. This suggests that segment generation in centipedes involves a stage with double segment periodicity ... -
Approaches and methods used to assess ecological quality under European environmental legislation
Forde, James (2012-09)Benthic habitats and the macrobenthic communities they support form an integral component of ecological quality assessments in marine and estuarine waters. Good conceptual understanding of change in benthic community ... -
Studies on an evolutionary novelty: The forcipular segment of centipedes (Arthropoda: Chilopoda)
Dugon, Michel Marie (2011-11-29)The arthropod class Chilopoda comprises about 3500 described species of centipedes distributed across five living orders. A synapomorphic character of the class is the modified first trunk segment bearing a pair of sharp ... -
The effect of development on the direction of evolution: toward a twenty-first century consensus
Arthur, Wallace (Wiley-Blackwell, 2004-07-01)One of the most important questions in evolutionary biology is: what orients the evolutionary process? That is, what causes evolution to proceed toward certain developmental trajectories, and hence phenotypes, rather than ... -
Variation in body segment number within and between populations of the centipedestrigamia maritima(chilopoda: geophilomorpha)
Eibner, Cornelius; Arthur, Wallace (Oxford University Press (OUP), 2012-08-28) -
The Wnt gene family in evolution and development: insights from Chilopoda
Hayden, Luke (2012-12-20)The importance of a relatively small number of highly conserved genes and signalling systems, which can be co-opted to many developmental functions over evolutionary time, is a central finding in the field of evolutionary ...
