Cited by Watson et al. (2016) only in passing, as one of several evo-devo sources for the claim that developmental organisation shapes the distribution of phenotypic variation and so the possible paths of evolution through phenotype space. Wagner (2014) is paired with Brakefield (2006) for the point that some changes in limb morphology, wing patterns or gene-regulatory circuits are readily produced and selected while others are not. The passages give no further account of the book's own argument.
