Example of the clonal composition of area I on hand cell E(0)p1.Detail of the left mouth region (see Fig. 5). For better orientation the mandible and labrum are marked. The descendants of E(0)p1 form postero-median parts of the outgrowing paragnath. Additionally adjacent parts of the sternum are formed by these cells. You have to go with the mouse cursor into the frame. By pressing the left mouse button you can move the reconstruction in any position.

Example of the clonal composition of area II on hand cell E(0)p3. Detail of the left mouth region (see Fig. 6). For better orientation the mandible and labrum are marked. The descendants of the marked cell form postero-median parts of the mandible. Some clones are outside the mandible. You have to go with the mouse cursor into the frame. By pressing the left mouse button you can move the reconstruction in any position.

Additional file 3:

Example of the clonal composition of area III on hand cell E(0)p4. Detail of the right mouth region (see Fig. 7). For better orientation the mandible and labrum are marked. The clones of the marked cell form lateral parts of the mandible and adjacent parts of the tergite. These cells were cut off during dissection, check the Fig. 7A. You have to go with the mouse cursor into the frame. By pressing the left mouse button you can move the reconstruction in any position.
