DESCRIPTION:Understanding how phenotypic diversity arises requires connect
 ing evolutionary change to the cellular processes that generate tissues an
 d traits. Although morphology is often studied at the level of whole organ
 isms\, phenotypic variation emerges from the behaviors of individual cells
 . Cell lineages - the sequences of divisions\, fate choices\, and movement
 s linking progenitors to their differentiated descendants - therefore form
  the fundamental substrate for evolutionary change.This workshop will expl
 ore how variation in cell states\, lineage architecture\, and cellular dyn
 amics contributes to evolutionary innovation. We will examine how alterati
 ons in lineage topology\, timing\, and spatial deployment can reshape orga
 nismal form\, color\, and function\, and how regulatory changes become inc
 orporated into existing gene regulatory networks to diversify or create ne
 w cell types.Recent advances in single-cell sequencing\, lineage tracing\,
  spatial transcriptomics\, and live imaging now allow us to reconstruct de
 velopmental trajectories across diverse taxa with unprecedented resolution
 . Comparative perspectives provide powerful opportunities to identify cons
 erved and divergent developmental strategies and their lineage-specific el
 aborations. Bringing together researchers across evolutionary and developm
 ental biology\, this workshop aims to establish a unified framework for un
 derstanding how evolution acts through cell lineages to generate the diver
 sity of life.All scientists whose research falls into the thematic framewo
 rk of the workshop are welcome to participate by either presenting a poste
 r or giving a short talk. \n\nhttps://workshops.evolbio.mpg.de/event/145/
