Bastiani, Michael | Axons break in animals lacking β-spectrin | Axons and dendrites can withstand acute mechanical strain despite their small diameter. In this study, we demonstrate that β-spectrin is required for the physical integrity of neuronal processes in the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans. Axons in β-spectrin mutants spontaneously break. | Mutants; Dendrites; Morphology | 2007 |

Shapiro, Michael D. | Limb diversity and digit reduction in reptilian evolution | The study of morphological rules, or trends, offered classical biologists the opportunity to address the mechanisms underlying the evolution of anatomical designs. Regularities in evolution suggested that common functional or developmental rules governed the transformation of structures. Parallelism... | Digit loss; Morphology; Adaptation | 2006 |

Seger, Jon | Sexual dimorphism in the Hymenoptera | Spectacular sex differences of many kinds occur abundantly among the wasps, bees and ants that make up the insect order Hymenoptera. In some cases these differences are so extreme that males and females of the same species have been classified in different genera for decades, until a chance observa... | Reproductive; Insect; Morphology | 1994 |
