The robustness of some Carboniferous fossil leaf venation networks to simulated damage

Biological networks vary widely in their architecture and functional properties. Branching networks are good for transportation efficiency, while networks including loops offer good resistance to damage, and examples of these two topologies are found in leaf venation networks. The first plants with...
