From patterns to function in living systems: Dryland ecosystems as a case study
E Meron - Annual Review of Condensed Matter Physics, 2018 - annualreviews.org
Spatial patterns are ubiquitous in animate matter. Besides their intricate structure and beauty
they generally play functional roles. The capacity of living systems to remain functional in …

Running and Tumbling Localized Structures: A Non-Brownian Motion
Macroscopic systems present particle-type solutions. Spontaneous symmetry-breaking can
cause these solutions to travel in different directions, and the inclusion of random …

Universal criterion and amplitude equation for a nonequilibrium Ising-Bloch transition
We identify a universal criterion for the onset of a nonequilibrium Ising-Bloch (NIB) transition,
and describe the behavior near the bifurcation by a generic amplitude equation. We found …
