Patterns in nature in the form of spots and stripes result from a chemical phenomenon called the reaction-diffusion effect. So, perhaps, we can think about our fingers and toes in the same way that we think about stripes! Only recently has computer modelling been able to demonstrate that Turings mathematical models can accurately predict pattern formation during development in certain species, for example in species of striped fish. This has been is being a rough week, so this post is designed to be undemanding and easy on the eye. It appears that more insects are likely to bear spots and dots than flowers. Tessellation is a repeating pattern of the same shapes without any gaps or overlaps. Thank you for the treat. South African birds Animal behavior: patterns observed in animal behavior, such as the production of hexagons in honeycombs, are often the result of genetics and the environment.

The martial eagle is a particularly spectacular eagle. It has been/is being a rough week for many people around the world. In biology, natural selection can cause the development of patterns in living things for several reasons, including camouflage, sexual selection, and different kinds of signalling, including mimicry and cleaning symbiosis. Great post and very thought provoking since I found out the names of new species. And the relationship between plants and insects is also fascinating as they are so codependent. Cats I took this photo from the car window before the leopard moved off and it silently and swiftly melted into the foliage. Another set of spell-binding photographs and dense information. Some patterns in nature are a combination of designs such as the fractals and spirals found in some plants. First, there must be random fluctuations in expression that turn the activator on at low levels across a tissue. riotously colorful photographic display of the most dramatic examples of the 'sheer splendor' of physical patterns in the natural world.
