And the simulations suggested that where nutrients were hanging around probably affected rangeomorph size and shape a lot.

模拟结果表明，营养物质分布的位置可能会极大地影响范围形态的大小和形状。

These researchers studied the shapes of rangeomorph fossils and developed computer models to simulate their growth with different amounts of nutrients.

这些研究人员研究了 rangeomorph 化石的形状，并开发了计算机模型来模拟它们在不同营养量下的生长。

It may sound like something out of an RPG, but a rangeomorph is a very old form of multicellular life, dating about 571 million years ago to the mid-Ediacaran period.

这听起来像是角色扮演游戏中的东西，但 rangeomorph 是一种非常古老的多细胞生命形式， 可追溯到大约 5. 71 亿年前的埃迪卡拉纪中期。
