Green Algae as Model Organisms for Biological Fluid Dynamics.
In the past decade the volvocine green algae, spanning from the unicellular Chlamydomonas to multicellular Volvox, have emerged as model organisms for a number of problems in biological fluid dynamics. These include flagellar propulsion, nutrient uptake by swimming organisms, hydrodynamic interactions mediated by walls, collective dynamics and transport within suspensions of microswimmers, the ...
متن کاملGreen plants as intelligent organisms.
Intelligent behaviour, even in humans, is an aspect of complex adaptive behaviour that provides a capacity for problem solving. This article assesses whether plants have a capacity to solve problems and, therefore, could be classified as intelligent organisms. The complex molecular network that is found in every plant cell and underpins plant behaviour is described. The problems that many plant...
متن کاملGreen Algae (Raphidocelis subcapitata) Growth Model
Toxicity testing in populations probe for responses in demographic variables to anthropromorphic or natural chemical changes in the environment. Importantly, these tests are performed on species in isolation of adjacent tropic levels in their ecosystem. The development and validation of coupled species models may aid in predicting adverse outcomes at the ecosystems level. Here, we aim to valida...
متن کاملBiological Fluid Dynamics
A critical analysis of the numerous works on dolphin swimming shows that several uncertainties led to incorrect conclusions concerning the estimates of dolphin drag coefficients. Original results on dolphin kinematics and hydrodynamics indicate the existence of a drag-reduction mechanism, caused by the formation of a negative pressure gradient along the body during active swimming. The mathemat...
متن کاملSpace as an invention of biological organisms
The question of the nature of space around us has occupied thinkers since the dawn of humanity, with scientists and philosophers today implicitly assuming that space is something that exists objectively. Here we show that this does not have to be the case: the notion of space could emerge when biological organisms seek an economic representation of their sensorimotor flow. The emergence of spat...
