Abstract

Developmental mechanisms can evolve even when the trait they produce does not, and the nematode vulva has become a model organ for detecting such 'developmental system drift'. A new study reveals what may be the very earliest stages of this process by experimentally modifying key vulval signaling pathways in different species of Caenorhabditis, and carefully quantifying the results.
