Third Paper Presenting an Engineering Analysis of the Flagellum Makes the Case for Intelligent Design
A diagram in the paper — showing interactions in terms of engineering schematics — is unlike any description of the flagellum that I’ve seen.
New Paper Investigates Engineering Design Constraints on the Bacterial Flagellum
This technique of examining biology through the eyes of engineering is not necessarily new — systems biologists have been doing it for years.
Kimberella — Locomotory Tracks
But what about tracks of the moving animal? There are indeed some fossils from the White Sea.
Kimberella — Interpreting the Fossils
One of the few features that are uncontroversial is the body size: The fossils measure usually 1-5 cm in length.
Kimberella — Conflicting Evidence from Taphonomy
The fossilization of Kimberella specimens was most likely based on rapid burial with sand during storm events.
