LINKING THE PARTS. “The temporal element linking microevolutionary processes to macroevolutionary patterns is development: an organism’s genotype is converted to phenotype by ontogenetic processes. Because selection acts upon the phenotype, the connection between evolutionary genetics and developmental evolution becomes essential to understanding adaptive evolution in organismal form and function.”
