Moving and staying together without a leader
A microscopic, stochastic, minimal model for collective and cohesive motion of identical self-propelled particles is introduced. Even though the particles interact strictly locally in a very noisy manner, we show that cohesion can be maintained, even in the zero-density limit of an arbitrarily large flock in an infinite space. The phase diagram spanned by the two main parameters of our model, w...
متن کاملEvolutionary construction by staying together and coming together.
The evolutionary trajectory of life on earth is one of increasing size and complexity. Yet the standard equations of evolutionary dynamics describe mutation and selection among similar organisms that compete on the same level of organization. Here we begin to outline a mathematical theory that might help to explore how evolution can be constructive, how natural selection can lead from lower to ...
متن کاملStaying Together: Protein Molecules in Mesoscopic Clusters.
Collective behavior of protein molecules in solutions is critically important for understanding their biological functions, as well as for efficient control of various technological processes. A number of recent experimental studies have observed the formation of various clusters in protein solutions in different systems (1–5). While the existence of small molecular complexes in solutions is a ...
متن کاملJoint action: bodies and minds moving together.
The ability to coordinate our actions with those of others is crucial for our success as individuals and as a species. Progress in understanding the cognitive and neural processes involved in joint action has been slow and sparse, because cognitive neuroscientists have predominantly studied individual minds and brains in isolation. However, in recent years, major advances have been made by inve...
متن کاملMyxobacteria: Moving, Killing, Feeding, and Surviving Together
Myxococcus xanthus, like other myxobacteria, is a social bacterium that moves and feeds cooperatively in predatory groups. On surfaces, rod-shaped vegetative cells move in search of the prey in a coordinated manner, forming dynamic multicellular groups referred to as swarms. Within the swarms, cells interact with one another and use two separate locomotion systems. Adventurous motility, which d...
