«“This volume explores a variety of case studies around a small set of themes. The most significant feature of this book concerns how it brings together issues in developmental biology to the Anthropocene. It serves as a call for better integration of the study of development alongside evolutionary biology, ecology, and conservation biology. It is also a fascinating examination of how small-scale processes such as development can affect large-scale biological diversity.” (Jay Odenbaugh, The Quarterly Review of Biology, Vol. 98 (3), September, 2023)»
