Modularity and evolvability (Wagner)

Layer 3 — Biologyin the Evolutionary Developmental Biology subtree

Wagner 1996/2005: developmental systems decompose into quasi-autonomous modules with strong within-module and weak between-module coupling. Modularity reduces pleiotropic constraint, increasing evolvability — the capacity to generate…
