- Theme And Variation
- Biological evolution and development. A body plan (the vertebrate tetrapod) re-instantiated across species under systematic transformation — limb length, digit count, surface texture — with the bauplan as the theme and allometric scaling and heterochrony as the transformation operations.
This sourceTreats the body plan (bauplan) as a conserved invariant re-instantiated across a clade via developmental transformations such as heterochrony and allometric scaling.
