In her Commentary, Nina Kraus @ninakraus.bsky.social introduces the 'environmentally dependent developmental induction’ model, a potential means through which phenotypic evolution is influenced by environmental effects on development

Screenshot of the PDF of the first page of the Commentary, Environmentally dependent developmental induction as a potential driver of heart evolution, by Nina Kraus. The publishing information states: © 2026. Published by The Company of Biologists | Journal of Experimental Biology (2026) 229, jeb250920. doi:10.1242/jeb.250920. The first sentence of the Abstract states: 'Developmental biology and evolutionary theory have traditionally emphasized gene mutations as the primary drivers of new traits, with natural selection shaping the resulting variation'.
