A remarkable property of developing organisms is the consistency and robustness within the formation of the body plan. In many animals, morphological pattern formation is orchestrated by conserved signaling pathways, through a process of strict spatio-temporal regulation of cell fate specification. Although morphological patterns have been the focus of both classical and recent studies, little is known about how this robust process is modified throughout evolution to accomodate different morphological adaptations.
