Topological Phenotypes Constitute a New Dimension in the Phenotypic Space of Leaf Venation Networks
The leaves of angiosperms contain highly complex venation networks consisting of recursively nested, hierarchically organized loops. We describe a new phenotypic trait of reticulate vascular networks based on the topology of the nested loops. This phenotypic trait encodes information orthogonal to widely used geometric phenotypic traits, and thus constitutes a new dimension in the leaf venation...

متن کاملInferring climate from angiosperm leaf venation networks.
Leaf venation networks provide an integrative linkage between plant form, function and climate niche, because leaf water transport underlies variation in plant performance. Here, we develop theory based on leaf physiology that uses community-mean vein density to predict growing season temperature and atmospheric CO2 concentration. The key assumption is that leaf water supply is matched to water...
متن کاملConstitutive property of the local organization of leaf venation networks.
The leaf venation of dicotyledons forms complex patterns. In spite of their large variety of morphologies these patterns have common features. They are formed of a hierarchy of structures, which are connected to form a reticulum. Excellent images of these patterns can be obtained from leaves from which the soft tissues have been removed. A numerical image processing has been developed, speciall...

abstract a fundamental study of “historio-graphic metafiction” and “literary genres”, as introduced in “new historical philosophy”, and tracing them in the works of julian barnes having studied the two novels, the porcupine and arthur & george, by julian barnes, the researcher has applied linda hutcheon’s historio-graphic metafictional theories to them. the thesis is divided into five cha...
