Inclusion and exclusion in the history of developmental biology

Integrating developmental biology and the fossil record of reptiles
... We have also to admit that most of fossil embryos represent mainly large and/or aquatic forms. This bias is due to at least three reasons: 1) organisms living in water have greater preservation potential than terrestrial ...
