A Firefly-inspired Model for Deciphering the Alien
Cameron Brooks, Estelle Janin, Gage Siebert +3
The Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (ETI) is, historically, a search for aliens like us, inspired by human centric ideas of intelligence and technology. However, humans ar…
A Computational Topology-based Spatiotemporal Analysis Technique for Honeybee Aggregation
Golnar Gharooni-Fard, Morgan Byers, Varad Deshmukh +4
A primary challenge in understanding collective behavior is characterizing the spatiotemporal dynamics of the group. We employ topological data analysis to explore the structure of…
Evolutionary Dynamics of a Lattice Dimer: a Toy Model for Stability vs. Affinity Trade-offs in Proteins
Emanuele Loffredo, Elisabetta Vesconi, Rostam Razban +4
Understanding how a stressor applied on a biological system shapes its evolution is key to achieving targeted evolutionary control. Here we present a toy model of two interacting l…
Social Insects and Beyond: The Physics of Soft, Dense Invertebrate Aggregations
O. Shishkov, O. Peleg
Aggregation is a common behavior by which groups of organisms arrange into cohesive groups. Whether suspended in the air (like honey bee clusters), built on the ground (such as arm…
Noisy circumnutations facilitate self-organized shade avoidance in sunflowers
Chantal Nguyen, Imri Dromi, Aharon Kempinski +3
Circumnutations are widespread in plants and typically associated with exploratory movements, however a quantitative understanding of their role remains elusive. In this study we r…
Social inhibition maintains adaptivity and consensus of foraging honeybee swarms in dynamic environments
Subekshya Bidari, Orit Peleg, Zachary P Kilpatrick
To effectively forage in natural environments, organisms must adapt to changes in the quality and yield of food sources across multiple timescales. Individuals foraging in groups a…
Optimal switching strategies for stochastic geocentric/egocentric navigation
O. Peleg, L. Mahadevan
Animals use a combination of egocentric navigation driven by the internal integration of environmental cues, interspersed with geocentric course correction and reorientation, often…
Pair interaction ordering in fluids with random interactions
Lenin S. Shagolsem, Dino Osmanović, Orit Peleg +1
We use molecular dynamics simulations in 2d to study multi-component fluid in the limiting case where {\it all the particles are different} (APD). The particles are assumed to inte…
