Discrete systems, cell-cell interactions and color pattern of animals. II. Clonal theory and cellular automata.
The morphogenesis of the color pattern of animals is modeled with cellular automata. The cell-cell near neighbor interactions are taken into account and impose restrictions on the model. The allowed patterns are observed in reptiles, felines and fishes.
