The Evolution of Modularity in the Mammalian Skull II: Evolutionary Consequences (2009, background): “Although the morphological integration framework has explicit expectations about the relationship between modularity and the evolvability of any population (e.g., Wagner and Altenberg 1996), those expectations have rarely been tested empirically.”
Analyzing Fluctuating Asymmetry with Geometric Morphometrics: Concepts, Methods, and Applications (2015, background): “Modularity [418–421] is related to morphological integration: in a modular structure, the modules are integrated internally but relatively independent of one another, so that integration is strong within modules but weaker between them [170,179].”
More than the sum of their parts: On the evolution of proteins from peptides (2003, unknown): “Natural systems use modularity at many levels (48,49) ranging from the molecular level to the construction of multicellular organisms.”
Heritability is not Evolvability (2011, background): “There is a rich literature on definitions, dynamics and determinants of evolvability (see e.g. Wagner and Altenberg 1996; Schlichting and Murren 2004; Hansen 2006; Willi et al. 2006; Hendrikse et al. 2007; Polly 2008; Brookfield 2009 for review), but there has been little discussion of how to…”
Dynamic reconfiguration of human brain networks during learning (2010, background): “Modularity can be a property of morphology, as has been widely described in the context of evolution and development (11, 12, 29), as well as of the interconnection patterns of social, biological, and technological systems (30, 31).”
The road to modularity (2007, unknown): “G1: = (X XOR Y) AND (Z XOR Y) (2) G2: = (X XOR Y) OR (Z XOR Y)”
The road to everywhere : Evolution, complexity and progress in natural and artificial systems (2008, background): “Now let us introduce a new requirement: we posit that our system is evolutionary, that is, it follows the “Darwinian heuristic” as elegantly formulated by Wagner and Altenberg [181]: “the Darwinian heuristic is to choose sample points by perturbing the more fit ones among those sampled thus far.”
Integration and Evolvability in Primate Hands and Feet (2009, background): “Importantly, Cheverud argued that pleiotropy is a key mechanism linking these four types of integration (see also Wagner 1996; Wagner and Altenberg 1996 ).”
Morphological Integration and Developmental Modularity (2008, methodology): “…interesting idea, however, is to think of evolvability as the propensity of developmental systems to produce new genetic variation, which is closer to the original meaning of the term and relates it to measurable quantities such as mutational variation ( Jones et al. 2007, Wagner & Altenberg 1996).”
Requirements for Open-Ended Evolution in Natural and Artificial Systems (2015, background): “…innovations and neutral networks, a wide range of work on the evolution of evolution, e.g. (Hindré et al., 2012), evolvable genotype–phenotype mappings, e.g. (Gerhart and Kirschner, 2007; Wagner and Altenberg, 1996; Wills, 2014), and major transitions, e.g. (Maynard Smith and Szathmáry, 1995).”
Evolvability (2006, unknown): “We note also that the term evolvability has been used in a further different sense, that of measuring the intrinsic capacity of genomes to produce variants [Wagner and Altenberg 1996].”
Evolvability Search: Directly Selecting for Evolvability in order to Study and Produce It (2016, background): “Because there remains uncertainty about the exact indirect selective forces by which evolvability emerges in natural evolution, replicating nature’s evolvability in EC remains an unmet challenge [5,16,18,35].”
Evaluating modularity in morphometric data: challenges with the RV coefficient and a new test measure (2016, unknown): “In these cases, modularity is displayed, where integration is found within subsets of traits modules), but where the covariation between those modules is relatively weaker (Cheverud 1982; Wagner 1996; Wagner & Altenberg 1996; Wagner, Pavlicev & Cheverud 2007; Klingenberg 2014).”
The Concept of Morphospaces in Evolutionary and Developmental Biology: Mathematics and Metaphors (2009, background): “A fitness landscape on the genotype space can be related to the fitness landscape on the phenotype space via the so-called genotype–phenotype map, assigning each genotype to a phenotype or to a set of phenotypes (Alberch 1991; Wagner and Altenberg 1996).”
Adaptive Radiation, Ecological Opportunity, and Evolutionary Determinism (2010, background): “…in evolvability, including the extent to which different aspects of the phenotype can evolve independently (Vermeij 1973; Liem 1974; Cheverud 1996; Wagner and Altenberg 1996; Gerhart and Kirschner 1998; Rutherford and Lindquist 1998): species with greater modularity may be able to diversify to a…”
The Adaptive Calibration Model of stress responsivity (2010, unknown): “Mod- ules are highly integrated by pleiotropic effects of the underlying genes2 and relatively isolated from other such sets by a paucity of pleiotropic effects (Wagner and Altenberg, 1996; Wagner et al., 2005).”
