Two-stage Turing model for generating pigment patterns on the leopard and the jaguar
Two-stage Turing model for generating pigment patterns on the leopard and the jaguar
Based on the results of phylogenetic analysis, which showed that flecks are the primitive pattern of the felid family and all other patterns including rosettes and blotches develop from it, we construct a Turing reaction-diffusion model which generates spot patterns initially. Starting from this spotted pattern, we successfully generate patterns …
