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

The Intra-Group Variation of the Eight Leopard Gecko Pattern is Larger than Random Variation Each closed curve shows the outer contour of the 95% phenotype cloud for eight LALI-types that were selected from within the neutral region of each leopard gecko pattern for the A) linear Turing and B) FitzHugh-Nagumo models. These LALI-types are indicated in LALI-space as labeled white dots in Fig 8. Although the phenotype clouds overlap, even the largest phenotype clouds do not contain all of the phenotype variation of the group, indicating that the random variation is not large enough on its own to account for all of the variation.
