Zusammenfassung: The patterns on the shells of tropical sea snails are not only compellingly beautiful but also tell a tale of biological development. The decorative patterns are records of their own genesis, which follows laws like those of dune formation or the spread of a flu epidemic. This book reveals the scientific knowledgePPN: PPN: 1648369278Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-2-SCS | ZDB-2-SBL
Preface; Contents; 1 Shell patterns - a natural picture book to study dynamic systems and biological pattern formation; 2 Pattern formation by local self-enhancement and long range inhibition; 3 Oscillations and traveling waves; 4 Superposition of stable and periodic patterns; 5 Crossings, meshwork of oblique lines and staggered dots: the combined action of two antagonists; 6 Branch initiation by global control; 7 The big problem: two or more time-dependent patterns that interfere with each other; 8 Triangles; 9 Parallel lines with tongues; 10 Shell models in three dimensions
