Morphomechanics and developmental constraints in the evolution of ammonites shell form

The idea that physical processes involved in biological development underlie morphogenetic rules and channel morphological evolution has been central to the rise of Evolutionary Developmental Biology (Evo-Devo). Here we explore this idea in the context of seashell morphogenesis. We show that a morph...
