Long-term relationships between ecological stability and biodiversity in Phanerozoic reefs.

abstract：:The geometry and dimensions of branched structures such as blood vessels or airways are important factors in determining the efficiency of physiological processes. It has been shown that fractal trees can be space filling and can ensure minimal dissipation. The bronchial tree of most mammalian lungs is a good example ...
