Amphibian water to land transition reveals physical limits of olfaction
Martin James, Loranzie S. Rogers, Moreira Salsman +3
The evolutionary transition from water to land required animals to sense and respond to drastically different environments. Chemicals diffuse four orders of magnitude more slowly i…

Noise enhances odor source localization
Francesco Marcolli, Martin James, Agnese Seminara
We address the problem of inferring the location of a target that releases odor in the presence of turbulence. Input for the inference is provided by many sensors scattered within…

Effect of swimming mode on shielding of odor traces in turbulence
Martin James, Francesco Viola, Agnese Seminara
Marine organisms manipulate their surrounding flow through their swimming dynamics, which affects the transport of their own odor cues. We demonstrate by direct numerical simulatio…
