In our newly published research in Science Advances, my student Ben Alessio and I propose a potential mechanism explaining how these distinctive patterns form—that could potentially be applied to ...
This article was originally featured on The Conversation. Patterns on animal skin, such as zebra stripes and poison frog color patches, serve various biological functions, including temperature ...
A thought experiment can help visualize the challenge of achieving distinctive color patterns. Imagine gently adding a drop of blue and red dye to a cup of water. The drops will slowly disperse ...

Impressive patterns that appear in animals, plants, and ecosystems
Nature follows mathematical rules and creates repeating patterns across completely different organisms and environments.
Or animals might need additional tricks to transport the morphogens across tissues, or to make patterns sharp and crisp. Scientists also see dizzyingly complex instances where Turing patterns are ...
For many decades now, scientists and biologists have been trying to understand how the mesmerising patterns in animal coats emerge from a group of underdeveloped cells. The British mathematician Alan ...
Laura Kelley receives funding from the People Programme (Marie Curie Actions) of the European Union’s Seventh Framework Programme (FP7/2007-2013). Many animals use the colours and patterns on their ...
Nature’s full of illusionists, and they’re not all hiding in plain sight by accident. Across the animal kingdom, creatures have evolved remarkable ways to stay alive by blending in, standing out, or ...
