Environmental variation is a key force shaping the function and evolution of developmental mechanisms. Therefore, it is essential to understand how environmental variation modulates developmental processes and resulting phenotypic variation. Much of our research therefore addresses the questions of how developmental systems respond to environmental variation and how such responses evolve. Using the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans and related species, we aim to answer four main questions: How does developmen
