talking about studies of the evolution of morphology and
behaviour in real animals. Sadly the talk didn't really
cover this at all, but does anyone know of any other work
from the biological literature of relevance to this topic?

Thanks,

Tim

Ah, an opportunity to plug my own work :)  My work (Darwin2K)
has focused more on the evolution of morphologies than on
controllers, but includes some controller optimization in
the evolutionary process.  The main goal is a practical
system for automated design for robotics, rather than
investigating artificial life issues.

See http://www.darwin2k.com for information on the system
(you can download it too; it's free), and
http://www.darwin2k.com/chris/papers/ 
for some publications.
