New sector morphologies emerge from anisotropic colony growth
Daniel W. Swartz, Hyunseok Lee, Mehran Kardar +1
Competition during range expansions is of great interest from both practical and theoretical view points. Experimentally, range expansions are often studied in homogeneous Petri di…

Spatiotemporal noise stabilizes unbounded diversity in strongly-competitive communities
Amer Al-Hiyasat, Daniel W. Swartz, Jeff Gore +1
Classical ecological models predict that large, diverse communities should be unstable, presenting a central challenge to explaining the stable biodiversity seen in nature. We revi…

How host mobility patterns shape antigenic escape during viral-immune co-evolution
Natalie Blot, Caelan Brooks, Daniel W. Swartz +6
Viruses like influenza have long coevolved with host immune systems, gradually shaping the evolutionary trajectory of these pathogens. Host immune systems develop immunity against…
