Evolutionary Cell Biology

In recent decades, the central and integrating role of evolution in all of biology was reinforced, as the principles of evolutionary biology were integrated into other biological disciplines, such as developmental biology, ecology, and genetics. Major new fields emerged, among which are Evolutionary Developmental Biology (or Evo-Devo) and Ecological Developmental Biology (or Eco-Devo). Cell biology is a rich field in biology with a long history. In recent years, cell biologists have asked questions whose answers require insights from evolutionary history. Integrating evolutionary and cellular biology has the potential to generate new theories of cellular function and to create a new field. The Evolutionary Cell Biology book series was initiated to foster the emergence of this synergy. Given this conceptual basis and the advances in genetic analysis and visualization of cells and their organelles, cell biology is poised to be transformed by embracing the approaches of Evo-Devo — cells provide the link between genotype and phenotype, both during development and in evolution. Books in the Evolutionary Cell Biology series will further this transformation.
