Temperature shapes reproductive strategies across animals, yet how individuals switch between sexual and asexual reproduction remains unknown. We establish the planarian Phagocata morgani as a model f...

The genetic program of animal development is conserved, but its rate of execution varies across species. Heterochrony, shifts in the relative timing of developmental events, generates phenotypic varia...

This EMBO Workshop explores the gene-regulatory mechanisms that drive developmental reprogramming upon fertilization. It focuses on the interplay of transcriptional, post-transcriptional, and develop…
