Spring constant was varied from our default value of 0.5. Vertical lines in each plot mark the cessation of cell division at 55% epiboly (polar angle ϕ ≅ 0.53π). Each plot line represents median values of N = 28 replicates, with 5–95 percentile ranges (shading). Legend in (a) applies to all panels. a Straightness index. b Margin cell count. c Cumulative margin cell rearrangement events. d Tension along the leading edge.
