Evo–Devo: When Four Became Two Plus Two

Wings and halteres are homologous flight appendages whose shape differences are controlled by the Ubx transcription factor. Recent research shows how Ubx regulates apical and basal extracellular matrix proteases and their inhibitors to achieve this morphological divergence. Wings and halteres are ho...
