which qualitatively new structural features arise as “by-products of epigenesis that
appear when quantitative modifications of developmental processes reach a threshold
of the affected system.” A section headed Morphology and Physiology contains four
papers, in the first of which James Cheverud discusses generic constraints on the
appearance of new trait combinations and presents some results of a study of
papionin primates that bear on the matter. Karel Liem then takes up the issue of key
innovations with reference to genealogical and ecological hierarchy, proposing the
integrative approach “symecomorphosis.” Jeffrey Jensen also discusses key
innovations, expounding the procedure of “historical testing” as an alternative to
reliance on “subjective adaptive arguments.” Warren Burggren and William Bemis
conclude the section with a discussion of the potential of comparative physiology in
evolutionary studies. In the final pair of papers in the volume Adolf Seilacher
discusses “the sand-dollar syndrome: a polyphyletic constructional breakthrough”
and David Jablonski and David Bottjer discuss the ecology of evolutionary
innovation from a paleobiological point of view. The volume opens with an
introduction in which the editor recounts some earlier history of the subject and gives
an overview of Ac contributions. It concludes with an index.
