A Mathematical Model for Mollusc Shells Based on Parametric Surfaces and the Construction of Theoretical Morphospaces
In this study, we propose a mathematical model based on parametric surfaces for the shell morphology of the phylum Mollusca. Since David Raup’s pioneering works, many mathematical models have been proposed for different contexts to describe general shell morphology; however, there has been a gap in...
