The paper identifies biomechanical modules that govern larval shape diversity across six cnidarian species and shows how manipulating these modules can transform shapes between species.

This study identifies a positive feedback loop between germ cells and gonads in cnidarians that induces and maintains sexual reproduction through Gls signaling and Tfap2 activation.

This study shows that Hydractinia symbiolongicarpus regenerates whole bodies from cell suspensions through i-cell progeny, revealing a link between regeneration and embryonic development.

The paper identifies conserved color regions in Estrildid finches that explain diverse plumage patterns through molecular pre-patterning.

The paper shows that cell shape anisotropy and motility influence the precision of feather pattern formation across bird species.

The paper models and experimentally validates a mechanism where symmetry breaking initiates a directional and sequential front of competence in bird plumage patterning.
