Conditions for self-organisation via Turing’s mechanism in biological systems represented by reaction-diffusion or reaction-cross-diffusion models have been extensively studied. Nonetheless, the impact of tissue stratification in such systems is unde... Read More about Turing Pattern Formation in Reaction-Cross-Diffusion Systems with a Bilayer Geometry.

Patterning of nonlocal transport models in biology: The impact of spatial dimension (2023)
Journal Article
Jewell, T. J., Krause, A. L., Maini, P. K., & Gaffney, E. A. (2023). Patterning of nonlocal transport models in biology: The impact of spatial dimension. Mathematical Biosciences, 366, Article 109093. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mbs.2023.109093

Throughout developmental biology and ecology, transport can be driven by nonlocal interactions. Examples include cells that migrate based on contact with pseudopodia extended from other cells, and animals that move based on their awareness of other a...

Computing has revolutionised the study of complex nonlinear systems, both by allowing us to solve previously intractable models and through the ability to visualise solutions in different ways. Using ubiquitous computing infrastructure, we provide a... Read More about VisualPDE: Rapid Interactive Simulations of Partial Differential Equations.

Bat teeth illuminate the diversification of mammalian tooth classes (2023)
Journal Article
Sadier, A., Anthwal, N., Krause, A. L., Dessalles, R., Lake, M., Bentolila, L. A., …Sears, K. E. (2023). Bat teeth illuminate the diversification of mammalian tooth classes. Nature Communications, 14(1), Article 4687. https://doi.org/10.1038/s41467-023-40158-4

Tooth classes are an innovation that has contributed to the evolutionary success of mammals. However, our understanding of the mechanisms by which tooth classes diversified remain limited. We use the evolutionary radiation of noctilionoid bats to sho... Read More about Bat teeth illuminate the diversification of mammalian tooth classes.
