Isolating and quantifying the role of developmental noise in generating phenotypic variation

Fig 8

50% Neutral regions of each of the eight gecko patterns in LALI-space.

For each of the eight gecko patterns, we identified the neutral region A) in -LALI-space for the linear Turing implementation or B) in [T,ρ] LALI-space for the non-linear FitzHugh-Nagumo model. The white circle in each neutral region shows the LALI-type chosen to generate representative phenotype clouds in Fig 7 and Fig 10. The labeled stars A and B are the points in LALI-space that are used to generate the “preternatural” patterns in Fig 12. (Both models used the 50% phenotype cloud to generate the 50% neutral region, see the description under “Step 2” in the Methods).
