Conspectus Since Alan Turing’s 1952 pioneering work, reaction–diffusion (RD) processes are regarded as prototype mechanisms for pattern formation in living systems. Though suspected in many aspects of morphogenetic development, pure RD patterns have not yet been demonstrated in living organisms. The...
