Abstract: PROF. MACBRIDE, in his brilliant review (NATURE, Oct. 25, p. 639) of the recent embryological works by Durken, Schleip, and Przibram, raises questions which are so fundamental in modern biology that I venture in all humility to interpose a word. Although I have not yet had the opportunity of reading these books, much of their work is already familiar ground, and Prof. MacBride’s clear exposition renders reference to the originals unnecessary so far as these general questions are concerned.

Reinterpreting recapitulation: systematics of needlefishes and their allies (Teleostei: Beloniformes)
TL;DR: Limits to phylogenetic perspectives on recapitulation based on discrete character data are discussed by comparing aspects of von Baerian and Haeckelian views of the relation between ontogeny and phylogeny.

Heterochrony in Plants

TL;DR: The study of heterochrony in plants must take on a character of its own as the indeterminate or open growth habit and modular construction of plants lead to much greater environmentally induced phenotypic variation in form than is found in animals.

Molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying the evolution of form and function in the amniote jaw.
TL;DR: It is highlighted how variation in molecular and cellular programs can promote the phenomenal diversity and functional morphology achieved during amniote jaw evolution or lead to the range of jaw defects and disease that affect the human condition.
Evolution of leaf form in marsileaceous ferns: evidence for heterochrony
Kathleen M. Pryer,David J. Hearn +1 more
TL;DR: The evidence for heterochrony presented here illustrates that it has resulted in profound ecological and morphological consequences for the entire life history of Marsileaceae.
