Chordate embryos show an evolutionary trend in the mechanisms they use to internalize presumptive mesoderm, relying predominantly on invagination in the basal chordates, varying combinations of involution and ingression in the anamniote vertebrates and reptiles, and predominantly on ingression in birds and mammals. This trend is associated with variations in epithelial type and changes in embryonic architecture as well as variations in the type of blastopore formed by an embryo. We also note the surprising conservation of the involution, during gastrulation, of at least a subset of the notochordal cells throughout the chordates, and suggest that this indicates a constraint on morphogenic evolution based on a functional linkage between architecture and patterning. Finally, we propose a model for the evolutionary transitions from gastrulation through a urodele amphibian-type blastopore to gastrulation through a primitive streak, as in chick or mouse.
