How do Cicadas Emerge Together? Thermophysical Aspects of Their Collective Decision-Making

Raymond E. Goldstein, Robert L. Jack, Adriana I. Pesci

Certain periodical cicadas exhibit life cycles with durations of 13 or 17 years, and it is now generally accepted that such large prime numbers arise evolutionarily to avoid synchr…

Swimming, Feeding and Inversion of Multicellular Choanoflagellate Sheets

Lloyd Fung, Adam Konkol, Takuji Ishikawa +3

The recent discovery of the striking sheet-like multicellular choanoflagellate species that dynamically interconverts between two hemispherical forms of opposite…

Adaptive phototaxis of Chlamydomonas and the evolutionary transition to multicellularity in Volvocine green algae

K. C. Leptos, M. Chioccioli, S. Furlan +2

A fundamental issue in biology is the nature of evolutionary transitions from unicellular to multicellular organisms. Volvocine algae are models for this transition, as they span f…

Collapse of a hemicatenoid bounded by a solid wall: instability and dynamics driven by surface Plateau border friction

Christophe Raufaste, Simon Cox, Raymond E. Goldstein +1

The collapse of a catenoidal soap film when the rings supporting it are moved beyond a critical separation is a classic problem in interface motion in which there is a balance betw…

Biofilm Growth Under Elastic Confinement

George T. Fortune, Nuno M. Oliveira, Raymond E. Goldstein

Bacteria often form surface-bound communities, embedded in a self-produced extracellular matrix, called biofilms. Quantitative studies of their growth have typically focused on unc…

Stabilization of Microbial Communities by Responsive Phenotypic Switching

Pierre A. Haas, Maria A. Gutierrez, Nuno M. Oliveira +1

Clonal microbes can switch between different phenotypes and recent theoretical work has shown that stochastic switching between these subpopulations can stabilize microbial communi…
