Although the secreted ligand WntA has been shown to instruct the color pattern formation in butterflies, its mode of reception remains elusive...

... and to identify causal links between genetic and anatomical aberrations. In simulations of de novo pattern formation, the Pax6 / Fst / Tgfb2 network is observed to oscillate ( Fig. 4 D,D′; Movie 2 ). This potential for oscillation derives from the Eigenvalues associated with the Turing condition...
