Simple Reaction-Diffusion Modeling Predicts Inconspicuous Neighborhood-Dependent Color Subclustering of Lizard Scales

Turing proposed a reaction-diffusion (RD) process as the chemical basis of morphogenesis. Despite the elegance of this model, its relevance for the precise description of morphogenesis in real organisms is largely disputed. Here, we show that a simple RD system, predicting the cellular-automaton-lik...
