Morphogenesis of branching networks in jellyfish and fern leaves
Transport networks in living organisms show a variance of architecture, with either ramified or looped networks. These transport networks develop in parallel with the organisms, arising from local interactions and feedback mechanisms, resulting in self-organizing patterns.
In this presentation, we will first introduce general concepts used in morphogenesis, such as noise, instabilities and emergent patterns. We will then focus on the morphogenesis of the gastrovascular network of the jellyfish Aurelia aurita and on the vascular system of leaves.
