Evolutionary changes in the complexity of the tectum of nontetrapods: a cladistic approach. by Caio Maximino

“…However, no difference was found between two clades classified as per the general developmental pathways of their brains.<h4>Conclusions/significance</h4>The evidence amassed points to more variation in the tectum than would be expected by phylogeny in three species from the taxa analysed; this variation is not better explained by differences in the main course of development, as would be predicted by the developmental clade hypothesis. …”
