Paleobiological research is increasingly engaged with the impact of developmental data on explanations of evolutionary change, at both large and small scales. Questions about morphological similarity, convergence and/or parallelism, body-plan origin, historical diversity, and the polarity and sequence of change are all central to the evolutionary-developmental debate; in each case fossils provide a unique perspective and source of data.
