Evolutionary biology: Co-option and the evolution of morphological novelty.
Ridgway, Amber M; McGregor, Alistair P
Abstract
The molecular mechanisms underlying evolution of morphological novelties are not well understood, although co-option is often inferred. A new study demonstrates that the partial co-option of the trichome gene regulatory network underlies the evolution of novel projections on Drosophila male genitalia.
