Coordination of wing and whole-body development at developmental milestones ensures robustness against environmental and physiological perturbations.

Development produces correctly patterned tissues under a wide range of conditions that alter the rate of development in the whole body. We propose two hypotheses through which tissue patterning could be coordinated with whole-body development to generate this robustness. Our first hypothesis states...
