Numerical treatment of the Boltzmann equation for self-propelled particle systems
Florian Thüroff, Christoph A. Weber, Erwin Frey
Kinetic theories constitute one of the most promising tools to decipher the characteristic spatio-temporal dynamics in systems of actively propelled particles. In this context, the…
How turbulence regulates biodiversity in systems with cyclic competition
Daniel Groselj, Frank Jenko, Erwin Frey
Cyclic, nonhierarchical interactions among biological species represent a general mechanism by which ecosystems are able to maintain high levels of biodiversity. However, species c…
Periodic vs. intermittent adaptive cycles in quasispecies co-evolution
Alexander Seeholzer, Erwin Frey, Benedikt Obermayer
We study an abstract model for the co-evolution between mutating viruses and the adaptive immune system. In sequence space, these two populations are localized around transiently d…
Specialization and Bet Hedging in Heterogeneous Populations
Steffen Rulands, David Jahn, Erwin Frey
Phenotypic heterogeneity is a strategy commonly used by bacteria to rapidly adapt to changing environmental conditions. Here, we study the interplay between phenotypic heterogeneit…
Molecular Mechanisms for Microtubule Length Regulation by Kinesin-8 and XMAP215 Proteins
Louis Reese, Anna Melbinger, Erwin Frey
The cytoskeleton is regulated by a plethora of enzymes that influence the stability and dynamics of cytoskeletal filaments. Molecular motors of the kinesin-8 protein family depolym…
Chemical warfare and survival strategies in bacterial range expansions
Markus F. Weber, Gabriele Poxleitner, Elke Hebisch +2
Dispersal of species is a fundamental ecological process in the evolution and maintenance of biodiversity. Limited control over ecological parameters has hindered progress in under…
