摘要
FüR DARWIN：德国动物学家和达尔文主义者弗里茨-穆勒于 19 世纪 60 年代初撰写，阐述了当代进化发育生物学（或称进化论）领域的许多基本概念。在巴西海岸的工作为他提供了避难所，使他得以摆脱宗教保守主义和普鲁士学术科学的 "大市场"。在这里，穆勒研究了甲壳动物的发育阶段，并利用这些细致的观察对现有的分类文献进行了批判。在此过程中，他既为达尔文的理论提供了证据，又将其扩展到幼虫形态。在这篇文章中，我们将把 1869 年出版的英文版《Für Darwin》（即《Facts and Arguments for Darwin》）放在十九世纪生物学的视野中来审视。我们认为，《Für Darwin》是发育生物学发展史上一篇极具预言性的文章，因为它对发育和进化（本体和系统发育）之间的关系有着敏锐的洞察力，对甲壳动物生物学做出了诸多贡献，而且穆勒对科学教条的危险性有着深刻的认识。
The Anlagen of Evo-devo in Fritz Müller's FürDarwin (1864).
FüR DARWIN: written in the early 1860s by the German zoologist and Darwinist Fritz Müller, articulates many of the concepts foundational to the contemporary field of evolutionary developmental biology, or evo-devo. Working on the Brazilian coast offered him refuge from both religious conservatism and the "great market" of Prussian academic science. Here, Müller studied the developmental stages of crustacea and used these meticulous observations to critique the extant literature on classification. In so doing, he both provided evidence for Darwin's theory, and extended it to larval forms. In this essay, we situate Für Darwin, published in English as Facts and Arguments for Darwin in 1869, within the landscape of nineteenth century biology. We propose that Für Darwin is a remarkably prophetic text in the history of developmental biology given its sharp insight into the relationship between development and evolution (ontogeny and phylogeny), its many contributions to crustacean biology, and Müller's deep appreciation of the danger of scientific dogma.
期刊介绍：
Developmental Biology (DB) publishes original research on mechanisms of development, differentiation, and growth in animals and plants at the molecular, cellular, genetic and evolutionary levels. Areas of particular emphasis include transcriptional control mechanisms, embryonic patterning, cell-cell interactions, growth factors and signal transduction, and regulatory hierarchies in developing plants and animals.
