Evolutionary Pattern Formation

چکیده
The problem of explaining the rich spectrum of different patterns exhibited by mammals has a long history. In a controversial paper (1952) Turing proposed a Reaction-Diffusion (RD) model to explain at a macroscopic scale the process of pattern formation, as related to the occurrence of what he called a diffusion-driven instability. A typical Turing system consists of at least two chemical species, usually referred to as activator and inhibitor, reacting in such a way that their steady state is stable to small perturbations in the absence of diffusion, but becomes unstable when diffusion is present. This simple mechanism (also referred to as Turing instability) was indicated by Turing as being responsible for the creation of spatial patterns in mammals.

متن کاملEvolutionary pattern formation in non-linear imaging systems with feedback: “Self-controlled growth”, “Coherent shrinkage” and “Eternal life in a bounded space”
Imaging systems with feedback are, generally, non-linear dynamic systems, which exhibit evolutionary pattern formation. In the paper, results of experimental investigation of pattern formation in several discrete models of such systems inspired by the famous mathematical “Game of Life” are presented and a number of new amazing phenomena in the evolutionary pattern formation in the models are re...
متن کاملAn Evolutionary Approach to Pattern Formation Mechanisms on Lepidopteran Wings
In this paper an evolutionary and developmental model of cell differentiation and cell induction based on differential gene expression is introduced. By introducing morphogenetic gradients on a two-dimensional, cellular grid, the model is able to evolve and generate patterns resembling those found on moth and butterflies. Investigation of biological models has its interest for artificial evolut...
متن کاملNested structure acquired through simple evolutionary process.
Nested structure, which is non-random, controls cooperation dynamics and biodiversity in plant-animal mutualistic networks. This structural pattern has been explained in a static (non-growth) network models. However, evolutionary processes might also influence the formation of such a structural pattern. We thereby propose an evolving network model for plant-animal interactions and show that non...

Several modifications of the famous mathematical “Game of Life” are introduced by making “Game of Life” rules stochastic and mutual influence of cells in their 8-neighborhood on a rectangular lattice spatially non-uniform. Results are reported of experimental investigation of evolutionary dynamics of the introduced models. A number of new phenomena in the evolutionary dynamics of the models and...
متن کاملSpatial Pattern Switching Enables Cyclic Evolution in Spatial Epidemics
Infectious diseases often spread as spatial epidemic outbreak waves. A number of model studies have shown that such spatial pattern formation can have important consequences for the evolution of pathogens. Here, we show that such spatial patterns can cause cyclic evolutionary dynamics in selection for the length of the infectious period. The necessary reversal in the direction of selection is e...
