This project quantitatively tests the hourglass model of embryonic development using Drosophila species. By analyzing gene expression and embryo morphology, it aims to provide evidence for constraints in developmental processes during the phylotypic stage.
The observation that different species within one animal phylum resemble one another in the course of embryonic development fascinated scientists since the dawn of developmental biology.
Already in 1828, Carl Ernst von Baer formulated his third law of embryonic development, later extended into the hourglass model that recognizes the phylotypic stage during mid-embryogenesis as the most constrained period of development, preceded and followed by greater morphological divergence.
The arguments fo…
