Entanglement in living systems
Thomas C. Day, S. Alireza Zamani-Dahaj, G. Ozan Bozdag +5
Many organisms exhibit branching morphologies that twist around each other and become entangled. Entanglement occurs when different objects interlock, creating complex and often ir…
Cellular organization in lab-evolved and extant multicellular species obeys a maximum entropy law
Thomas C. Day, Stephanie S. Hohn, Seyed A. Zamani-Dahaj +9
The prevalence of multicellular organisms is due in part to their ability to form complex structures. How cells pack in these structures is a fundamental biophysical issue, underly…
Geometry, packing, and evolutionary paths to increased multicellular size
Shane Jacobeen, Elyes C. Graba, Colin G. Brandys +3
The evolutionary transition to multicellularity transformed life on earth, allowing for the evolution of large, complex organisms. While multicellularity can be strongly advantageo…
Rock-Paper-Scissors, Differential Games and Biological Diversity
Tung Mai, Ioannis Panageas, Will Ratcliff +2
We model a situation in which a collection of species derive their fitnesses via a rock-paper-scissors-type game; however, the precise payoffs are a function of the environment. Th…
Life in the coffee-ring: how evaporation-driven density gradients dictate the outcome of inter-bacterial competition
David Yanni, Arben Kalziqi, Jacob Thomas +5
When a drop dries, it often leaves a ring-shaped stain through a ubiquitous phenomenon known as the coffee-ring effect. This also occurs when the liquid contains suspended microbes…
