After many years of research, somitogenesis is still one of the major unresolved problems in developmental biology. Recent experimental findings show a novel type of pattern formation in which a signal sweeps along the presomitic mesoderm and narrows simultaneously as a new somite is formed. The sig

After many years of research, the mechanisms that generate a periodic pattern of repeated elements (somites) along the length of the embryonic body axis is still one of the major unresolved problems in developmental biology. Here we present a mathematical formulation of the cell cycle model for somi
We present here a mathematical formula for the directional distribution of migratory birds if they use a vector navigation/clock-and-compass strategy to "nd their winter quarters. It is based on mathematical expectation theory and shows that a simple parabola can describe the expected geographical s
