Plant development: Making asymmetric flowers
Flowers are very diverse, with a large range in the size, number, color and morphology of the floral organs, differences that seem to reflect the adaptation of individual species to their mechanism of pollination. The study of the genetic basis of the generation of flower form has been greatly aided by a handful of model plant species, including Antirrhinum (Snapdragon), Arabidopsis and Petunia...
متن کاملFloral Symmetry Affects Bumblebee Approach Consistency in Artificial Flowers
Bilateral symmetry has evolved from radial symmetry in several floral lineages, and multiple hypotheses have been proposed to account for the success of this floral plan. One of these hypotheses posits that bilateral symmetry (or, more generally, a reduced number of planes of floral symmetry) allows for more precise pollen placement on pollinators. Greater precision would maximize the efficacy ...
متن کاملTools for Artificial Decision Making*
Today there are numerous tools for decision analysis that run on ordinary PCs, designed primarily for use by human decision-makers. However, not only humans make decisions. Intelligent agents are also faced with decision problems. In this paper we investigate if any of the computerized tools for decision analysis are useful for artificial decision-makers. Special attention is given to real-time...
متن کاملMaking Membranes in Artificial Chemistries
In this paper we review some of the possible ways of making membrane-like structures in artificial chemistries. Such implementations range from simulations with accurate physics and high computational costs to abstract models with very low computational costs. We observe that various properties of natural membranes, such as self-assembly and self-repair, are lacking in some of the systems. Addi...
متن کاملArtificial Nature: Immersive World Making
Artificial Nature is a trans-disciplinary research project drawing upon bio-inspired system theories in the production of engaging immersive worlds as art installations. Embodied world making and immersion are identified as key components in an exploration of creative ecosystems toward art-as-it-could-be. A detailed account of the design of a successfully exhibited creative ecosystem is given i...
