... benefit is small are currently being explored in evolutionary genomics, and evolutionary developmental biology (evo-devo) asks whether the scope of realizable heritable variation might determine what phenotypic space is ... Does heritable variation limit adaptation? Population genetics focuses on the fate of mutations. However, evo-devo researchers emphasize the role of 'developmental constraint' in shaping variation. In its strict ...
