Evolution & Development (ED)

Evolution & Development is an international, peer-reviewed scientific journal established in 1999 that focuses on the integration of evolutionary biology and developmental biology, a field commonly known as evo-devo. The journal publishes original research articles, reviews, and theoretical papers that investigate how developmental processes influence evolutionary change and how evolutionary mechanisms shape development. Its scope includes topics such as gene regulatory networks, developmental genetics, morphology, comparative embryology, phenotypic plasticity, and the evolution of developmental pathways across diverse taxa. The journal encourages interdisciplinary approaches that combine molecular biology, genomics, paleontology, and computational modeling to explain the origins of biological form and diversity. By linking micro-level genetic mechanisms with macro-level evolutionary patterns, Evolution & Development plays a key role in advancing modern evolutionary theory. Under the editorial leadership of Professor Günter P. Wagner, the journal maintains rigorous peer-review standards and promotes innovative research that bridges traditional disciplinary boundaries. Indexed in major databases such as Web of Science and Scopus, the journal serves as an essential resource for evolutionary biologists, developmental biologists, geneticists, and researchers interested in the mechanisms driving organismal diversity and complexity.
