@NeilShubin @rrbehringer i presented that same discussion to my dev bio and evolution classes today. species have phylogenetic histories and are not reducible to a few mutations

[Gareth Fraser @garethjfraser]

New preprint alert. Ever wondered why frogs only have upper jaw teeth? We investigate this conundrum and ask if frogs ever form lower jaw tooth rudiments and what the relationship is between tadpole keratodonts (keratin mouthparts) and teeth! 🐸🦷🔥

Check out our new research led by Athanasia! By generating transgenic snakes, we reveal the role of PMEL in the genetic switch from blotches to stripes in corn snakes 🐍
