Geometric Theory Predicts Bifurcations in Minimal Wiring Cost Trees in Biology Are Flat

The complex three-dimensional shapes of tree-like structures in biology are constrained by optimization principles, but the actual costs being minimized can be difficult to discern. We show that despite quite variable morphologies and functions, bifurcations in the scleractinian coral Madracis and i...
