Colloquium: Criticality and dynamical scaling in living systems
Miguel A. Munoz
A celebrated and controversial hypothesis conjectures that some biological systems --parts, aspects, or groups of them-- may extract important functional benefits from operating at…
Stochastic spatial models in ecology: a statistical physics approach
Simone Pigolotti, Massimo Cencini, Daniel Molina +1
Ecosystems display a complex spatial organization. Ecologists have long tried to characterize them by looking at how different measures of biodiversity change across spatial scales…
Impact of environmental colored noise in single-species population dynamics
Tommaso Spanio, Jorge Hidalgo, Miguel A. Muñoz
Variability on external conditions has important consequences for the dynamics and the organization of biological systems. In many cases, the characteristic timescale of environmen…
Topological dimension tunes activity patterns in hierarchical modular network models
Ali Safari, Paolo Moretti, Miguel A. Muñoz
Connectivity patterns of relevance in neuroscience and systems biology can be encoded in hierarchical modular networks (HMNs). Moreover, recent studies highlight the role of hierar…
Neutral theory and scale-free neural dynamics
Matteo Martinello, Jorge Hidalgo, Serena di Santo +3
Avalanches of electrochemical activity in brain networks have been empirically reported to obey scale-invariant behavior --characterized by power-law distributions up to some upper…
