2-gradient model (Bcd-Cad) shows robustness to Bcd variability. Bcd—green; Kr—red; kni—blue. (a) Highly robust Kr and kni. (b) Nonrobust Kr and kni. (c) All borders are robust, except for anterior Kr. (d) Severe nonrobustness, especially for Kr, probably caused by bifurcations between GRN basins of attraction (multistability; c.f. [74]).
