In recent years, spatial long range interactions during developmental processes have been introduced as a result of the integration of microscopic information, such as molecular events and signaling networks. They are often called nonlocal interactions. If the profile of a nonlocal interaction is determined by experiments, we can easily investigate how patterns generate by numerical simulations without detailed microscopic events. Thus, nonlocal interactions are useful tools to understand complex biosystems. However, nonlocal interactions are often inconvenient for observing specific mechanisms because of the integration of information. Accordingly, we proposed a new method that could convert nonlocal interactions into a reaction‐diffusion system with auxiliary unknown variables. In this review, by introducing biological and mathematical studies related to nonlocal interactions, we will present the heuristic understanding of nonlocal interactions using a reaction‐diffusion system.
