Evolution of Seriality and Segmentation How Often Did Segments Evolve?Problems with Structural Definitions of a Segment Problems with Ontogenetic Definitions of a Segment Structural and Ontogenetic Segment Definitions Lead to Paradoxes Segments Do Not Form Spatial and Differential Units Simple Anomalies Disturb the Pattern of Segmentation Criticism of the Term “Segment”Acknowledgments References

Rearrangement The Role of Cell Division Case Studies Support a New Model for the Role of Cell Division in the Posterior Thamnocephalus Oncopeltus Tribolium What Have These Case Studies Revealed?The Growth Zone Typically Requires Mitosis But Only at Low Rates The Anterior Growth Zone Functions As a Transition Zone in Segmental Specification Cell Division Is Highly Regulated and Regionalized in Both the Growth Zone and Trunk The Role of Cell Rearrangement Cell Rearrangements from Diverse Taxa Have Some Common Features Convergent Extension Drives Elongation in Drosophila Elongation in Drosophila Occurs Primarily by Junctional Remodeling Intra- and Intercellular Effectors of Cell Movements Are Polarized in Drosophila Pair-Rule Genes Drive Periodic Expression of the Toll Receptors
