Evolutionary optimization of material properties of a tropical seed [PDF]
Journal of The Royal Society Interface, 2011 Here, we show how the mechanical properties of a thick-shelled tropical seed are adapted to permit them to germinate while preventing their predation. The seed has evolved a complex heterogeneous microstructure resulting in hardness, stiffness and fracture toughness values that place the structure at the intersection of these competing selective ...
