Leonardo da Vinci’s sketch of a tree illustrates the principle that combined thickness is preserved at different stages of ramification. The math that describes the branching pattern of trees in ...
Do artists and scientists see the same thing in the shape of trees? As a scientist who studies branching patterns in living things, I’m starting to think so. Piet Mondrian was an early 20th-century ...

In this month's "Cultivating Success in the Farm & Garden" column, Hubbard County U of M Extension educator reveals how the ...
What makes a tree a tree? Or rather, why can we recognize trees in even quite abstract depictions when they are so varied in nature? Researchers have found a clue in the branches, and used math to ...
Summary Plants exhibit dependences between shoot growth and branching that generate highly structured patterns. The characterization of the patterning mechanism is still an open issue because of the ...
The tracheal system of Drosophila melanogaster is one of the best characterized multicellular branched organs. Branchless (BNL), a fibroblast growth factor (FGF) ligand, initiates the branching ...
