Acerca de los autores

Giuseppe Fusco is Associate Professor of Zoology at the Department of Biology of the University of Padova. His research is in the area of evolutionary biology, with a focus on the variation produced in each generation through reproduction and development, the 'raw material' on which natural selection and other mechanisms of evolutionary change operate. He is editor of the volumes Evolving Pathways: Key Themes in Evolutionary Developmental Biology (2008), From Polyphenism to Complex Metazoan Life Cycles (2010), Arthropod Biology and Evolution: Molecules, Development, Morphology (2013), Perspectives on Evolutionary and Developmental Biology (2019) and author, with Alessandro Minelli, of The Biology of Reproduction (2019).

Alessandro Minelli was Professor of Zoology at the University of Padova until his retirement in 2011. He previously served as the Speciality Chief Editor for evolutionary developmental biology for the journal, Frontiers in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. He was previously Vice-President of the European Society for Evolutionary Biology. Having studied animals for the majority of his career, on retirement he decided to study plant evolutionary development. He is the author of Biological Systematics (1993), The Development of Animal Form (2003), Forms of Becoming (2009), Perspectives in Animal Phylogeny and Evolution (2009), Plant Evolutionary Developmental Biology (2018), The Biology of Reproduction (2019, with Giuseppe Fusco), and Understanding Development (2021).
