The morphodynamic trajectory manifold of the ‘face’
Happy to share our new work from my graduate lab: DynamicAtlas, a morphodynamic atlas of Drosophila development! We develop methods for morphological time alignment of live data. Surprisingly, we find that the kinematics of fly morphogenesis are *very* simple. Enjoy!

New Article: "Grass inflorescence morphodynamics guides yield improvement in wheat" rdcu.be/e72m7
Morphodynamic modelling reveals how timing and fate shape diverse grass inflorescences. ID of an early-heading paired-spikelet mutant, which exhibits robust yield gains.

We show how synaptic high-frequency jumping and morphodynamic sampling synchronise vision to high-speed behaviour in the housefly, extending visual bandwidth to ~1,000 Hz while minimising synaptic delays.

Pretty interesting piece. Basically, up through ~4000 BCE early farmers could get irrigation from tidal rivers and short canals; but as river deltas extended, the tides receded, so longer canals were needed. This needed more organization -> early state formation.
