Figure 12. Representative simulation of the model with certain rules omitted.

Figure 12.

(A–B) WT and shd respectively with all rules included. (C–D) No movement of melanocytes or xanthophores for WT and shd, respectively. (E) Differentiation of melanocytes only promoted by dense S-iridophores for WT fish that is the rate of melanocytes does not depend on the number of S-iridophores. (F–G) No pull of melanocytes by xanthoblasts for WT and shd fish, respectively. (H) No proliferation of xanthophores for WT. (I–J) No melanocyte death for WT and shd fish. (K) Differentiation of melanocytes is not dependent on S-iridophores, (L–M) No death of melanocytes for WT and shd (N) Differentiation of melanocytes is dependent on dense S-iridophores being present in the long distance only.
