Among reaction-diffusion systems showing Turing patterns, the diffusive Gray-Scott model [Pearson, J. A., 1993, Science 261, 189] stands out by showing self-replicating patterns (spots), which makes it the ideal simple model for developmental research. A first study of the influence of noise in the Gray-Scott model was performed by Lesmes et al. [2003 Phys. Rev. Lett. 91, 238301] concluding tha...
