Predictions: proficient terrestrial abilities; no need for highly developed soaring or gliding skills; bill elongate but lacking specializations (such as lateral or dorsoventral compression, keels, or hooked bill tips); neck flexibility not required as the neck only needs to bring the bill tips close to the ground; head-neck joint, at least, should be flexible.

The most striking characteristic of isopods is their dorsoventral compression.

I continued the work on dorsal, discovered the recessive phenotype and interpreted the phenotype postulating a gradient determining the dorsoventral axis.
-
The maternal control of the dorsoventral pattern is achieved by only one group of genes that establish a nuclear localization gradient, with its maximum at the ventral side, of a transcription factor that functions both as a repressor of dorsally expressed genes and an activator of ventrally expressed genes (17), (19).

Other mutations affect the dorsoventral subdivision of the somites by the horizontal myoseptum.

The subsequent phenotypic analysis and molecular cloning of many of these genes, and investigation into the interactions of their products, resulted in a rather complete general picture of the mechanisms establishing the anteroposterior and the dorsoventral axis of the early embryo

The pattern also displays a clear dorsoventral difference, although the ventralmost (mesoderm) and dorsalmost (amnioserosa) structures of the embryonic fate map are not represented in the epidermal pattern.

A large fraction of the genes identified in both the zygotic and the maternal screens affect either the anteroposterior or the dorsoventral axis.
