Applications of mathematical modelling to biological pattern formation,

The formation of spatiotemporal patterning in biology has intrigued experimentalists and theoreticians for many generations. Here we present a brief review of some mathematical models for pattern formation and then focus on three models which use the phenomenon of chemotaxis to generate pattern.
