...Historically, one beginning of cladistics was the revolution in paleontology. It began in the 1960s with the publication of Lars Brundin’s monograph on austral midges (1966) and the Stockholm symposium on lower vertebrates (1967). It continued with the London symposium on fishes (1972...

Two aspects of diversity that have become central topics of evo-devo investigations are phenotypic plasticity and modularity. What these important concepts...
