Abstract
Wilhelm Roux promoted the newly emerged field of developmental mechanics by establishing the journal 'Archiv für Entwicklungsmechanik', currently known as 'Development, Genes and Evolution'. The founder and supporters of the journal were all men, as were the authors in the first 3 years of the journal's existence. We therefore addressed the question-in what ways did women scientists contribute to this new research field and what impact did they have. By investigating the careers and research environment of women authors in the first 50 years of the journal, we show that women contributed to all research areas of developmental mechanics and shaped its future direction.
期刊介绍:
Development Genes and Evolution publishes high-quality reports on all aspects of development biology and evolutionary biology. The journal reports on experimental and bioinformatics work at the systemic, cellular and molecular levels in the field of animal and plant systems, covering key aspects of the following topics:
Embryological and genetic analysis of model and non-model organisms
Genes and pattern formation in invertebrates, vertebrates and plants
Axial patterning, embryonic induction and fate maps
Cellular mechanisms of morphogenesis and organogenesis
Stem cells and regeneration
Functional genomics of developmental processes
Developmental diversity and evolution
Evolution of developmentally relevant genes
Phylogeny of animals and plants
Microevolution
Paleontology.
