I HAVE been much interested in Miss Raisin's Royal Society paper “On certain structures formed in the drying of a fluid with particles in suspension,” of which an account appears in NATURE for June 2.

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract Biological communities often occur in spatially structured habitats where connectivity directly affects dispersal and metacommunity processes.

Satellite views of Earth's major river systems reveal their familiar treelike drainage patterns. The pattern - called dendritic - and its prevalence suggests that it may be the optimal state in which ...
