Hox Modules in Evolution and Development 1st Edition

Capture the cutting edge of developmental biology with Hox Modules in Evolution and Development, 1st Edition — a compelling, accessible exploration of how Hox genes shape form and function across the animal kingdom. This authoritative volume brings together clear explanations and comparative insights that illuminate the genetic logic behind body plans, morphogenesis, and evolutionary innovation.

Delve into detailed discussions of Hox genes, regulatory networks, and modular organization that underpin pattern formation from embryos to adults. Readers will find a balanced mix of conceptual overviews, comparative genomics, and case studies that reveal how conserved gene modules produce diverse morphologies. Written for clarity without sacrificing depth, the book bridges molecular mechanisms and large-scale evolutionary patterns, making complex ideas approachable for advanced undergraduates, graduate students, and researchers.

Whether you’re teaching an evolutionary developmental biology (Evo-Devo) course, conducting comparative research, or building a professional reference shelf, this title helps translate technical knowledge into practical understanding. Benefit from up-to-date syntheses that support lab design, lecture preparation, and interdisciplinary collaboration across genetics, paleontology, and developmental biology.

Ideal for readers worldwide — from university classrooms in North America and Europe to research labs across Asia and beyond — this edition is a vital resource for anyone seeking to understand how genetic modules drive the evolution of form. Add Hox Modules in Evolution and Development, 1st Edition to your collection and deepen your grasp of the genetic architectures that create biological diversity.
