Mechanical instability. Various patterns emerge from multi-layered systems during embryogenesis. Zigzag patterning in pre-villus ridges in the jejunum of turkey embryos (a) and simulations using the theory of finite kinematic growth (b) show the importance of mechanical instabilities in governing shape in morphogenesis.
