Polygonal modeling
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! In 3D computer graphics, polygonal modeling is an approach for modeling objects by representing or approximating their surfaces using polygons. Polygonal modeling is well suited to scanline rendering and is therefore the method of choice for real-time computer graphics. Alternate methods of representing 3D objects include NURBS surfaces, subdivision surfaces, and equation-based representations used in ray tracers. See polygon mesh for a description of how polygonal models are represented and stored.

Inducible plant defenses against herbivory
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Plants and herbivores have co-evolved together for 350 million years. Plants have evolved many defence mechanisms against insect herbivory. Such defences can be broadly classified into two categories: (1) permanent, constitutive defences, and (2) temporary, inducible defences. Both types are achieved through similar means but differ in that constitutive defences are present before a herbivore attacks, while induced defences are activated only when attacks occur. In addition to constitutive defences, initiation of specific defence responses to herbivory is an important strategy for plant persistence and survival.
