In our first review, scientists revisit how physical forces shape collective #AnimalBehavior, revealing how individual-environment coupling underlies group dynamics across taxa — from fish schools to ant rafts. 🐟 🐜 🔗 go.aps.org/4lUbDGv #CollectiveBehavior

A model of collective dynamics in excited, micropatterned biological neuron networks verifies experiments showing how calcium synchronization increases with slower external signaling but decreases with high gap junction connectivity. 🔗 go.aps.org/3GtA6Tz

A side-by-side comparison shows how six types of vertex models for living tissues exhibit similar mechanical behavior, with stiffening governed by cell shape — suggesting the rigidity transitions and viscoelastic responses of these models are universal. go.aps.org/44bmANB

For the physics behind this, see our @PRX_Life paper from last year: doi.org/10.1103/PRXLif…. We used robots to model these navigation trajectories.

A female falcon was equipped with a GPS tracker during her journey from South Africa to Finland. She covered approximately 230 km per day, flying in a straight line across African lands until she reached the desert in the north. She then followed the path of the Nile River over…

Researchers found a way to detect guilds of microbial species that occupy similar ecological niches using time series data of species abundances. They used it to predict resource competition from data in coastal #plankton communities. 🔗 go.aps.org/4khxiH1

First observation linking nanoscale dynamical reorganization in Gram-negative bacterial cell membranes to the evolution of drug resistance under sub-lethal doses of a last-resort treatment for multidrug-resistant bacteria. Read the paper: go.aps.org/4ndQo3o

Nothing better than waking up to a paper acceptance. So glad that my paper with Lisa Blum Moyse on social foraging theory in egalitarian groups is accepted in @PRX_Life , the manuscript should be available soon here : journals.aps.org/prxlife/accept…
