Evolution of the arthropod mandible : a molecular developmental perspective
The mandible is thought to have evolved once in the ancestor to the mandibulate arthropods; the insects, crustaceans and myriapods. If the mandible is a homologous structure, it suggests that there will be shared developmental genes required to pattern the mandible in different species. As a represe...
