Evolution of Morphology: Modifications to Size and Pattern

A remarkable property of developing organisms is the consistency and robustness within the formation of the body plan. In many animals, morphological pattern formation is orchestrated by conserved signaling pathways, through a process of strict spatio-temporal regulation of cell fate specification....
