Neural crest cell biology shapes lizard skull evolution across evolutionary time scales

Quentin J.B. Horta-Lacueva, Tobias Uller, Morris Flecks, Mariam Gabelaia, Christy A. Hipsley, Martin Kirchner, Johannes Müller, Nathalie Feiner

The paper examines how neural crest cell biology influences skull evolution in lizards, finding that neural crest-derived bones evolve rapidly under sexual selection but show slower rates and less disparity across species.
