Methodological intersections in oral presentations displayed as Circos diagrams [41] using the ratio layout function to visualize interdisciplinarity. We consider the methods of six disciplines, defined to be independent within the sample set (e.g., paleontology was excluded from the visualization although it is included in the text because all paleontology talks included morphology) and such that both animals and plants are amenable to the techniques. (1) Morphology, meaning explicit analysis of a non-binary size or shape output (blue); (2) gene regulatory network (GRN) analysis and developmental genetics (green); (3) experimental or comparative embryology (yellow); (4) ecology, meaning measurement of an ecological variable (red); (5) theory, including mathematical modeling (pink); (6) population genetics and QTL analysis (purple). a All oral presentations from the Pan-American Society for Evolutionary Developmental Biology 2015 meeting are included, scored from published abstracts and our own notes from the talks. b All oral presentations from the Euro Evo Devo 2014 meeting, scored from published abstracts only, using the same analytical framework and color scheme as a
