This study identifies two modes of cell compaction during mechanical cell competition: growth-driven and interfacial tension-driven, using Drosophila pupal notum.

This study shows that patterned apoptosis influences local growth and tissue shape in the Drosophila wing imaginal disc, challenging the assumption that cell death has minimal impact on organ size and morphology.

The paper quantifies morphological variation in Drosophila wing development across stages and links early morphology to adult traits.

The paper assesses the robustness of bristle number to genetic and environmental variation in Drosophila melanogaster, finding differences in robustness across bristle types and effects of temperature and miR-9a on trait variance.
