Mapping Developmental Mechanics in Drosophila melanogaster with Segmentation and Force Inference

Mapping the forces responsible for morphogenetic movements in embryonic Drosophila melanogaster, or the fruit fly, is the focus of this thesis, specifically studying cellular pulsations and laser ablation wounds in the amnioserosa tissue during dorsal closure. First, background topics are explored,...
