Cellular geometry controls the efficiency of motile sperm aggregates
D. J. G. Pearce, L. A. Hoogerbrugge, K. A. Hook +2
Teams of cooperating sperm have been found across several vertebrate and invertebrate species, ranging from sperm pairs to massive aggregates containing hundreds of cells. Although…
Geometrical control of active turbulence in curved topographies
D. J. G. Pearce, Perry W. Ellis, Alberto Fernandez-Nieves +1
We investigate the turbulent dynamics of a two-dimensional active nematic liquid crystal con- strained on a curved surface. Using a combination of hydrodynamic and particle-based s…
Density regulation in strictly metric-free swarms
Daniel J. G. Pearce, Matthew S. Turner
There is now experimental evidence that nearest-neighbour interactions in flocks of birds are metric free, i.e. they have no characteristic interaction length scale. However, model…
