The following essay examines the application of mathematics to biological structures, in particular animal horns. It begins by exploring the evolutionary reasons for ornamental appendages…
Pincers (alternatively known as chelae) are an integral component of many arthropod species. Many species, from arachnids to crustaceans, rely on the chelae for survival.…
The trunk, or proboscis, is an important organ for many organisms, especially insects dependent on fluid-feeding, such as butterflies, mosquitoes, and bees. The structure of…
Abstract Pincers, or chelae, are a highly advantageous biological tool possessed by many arthropods. The chelae are useful and necessary for the survival of many…
The world of mathematics holds much value when it comes to computing, establishing, and resolving the many different complex relationships found in natural sciences. This,…
Abstract. An organism’s evolutionary fitness is determined by its ability to pass on its genes to its offspring. Males of some species make use of…
ABSTRACT Vibrations and resonance are pervasive means of communication and information reception in the animal kingdom. The tools, appendages, and organs used by an animal…
When it comes to the survival of some of nature’s more developed animals, it is often their uniquely designed appendages which allow them to make…
Antler regeneration is a complex process unique in nature because of its year-long perpetual cycle. Although antlerogenesis is a process shared by all males in…
Molting is a crucial and intricate process requiring the timely shedding of an animal’s body part, which may include the epidermis, the pelage, or the…
Lactation is a unique natural mechanism shared amongst mammalian species that serves the primary purpose of providing offspring with the vital nutrition and immune support…
Mathematics is increasingly present in various disciplines and especially in biology. Modeling in biology began to be used in population dynamics to model the growth…
