The characterization of dynamical processes in living systems provides important clues for
their mechanistic interpretation and link to biological functions. Owing to recent advances in …

Adaptivity is a dynamical feature that is omnipresent in nature, socio-economics, and
technology. For example, adaptive couplings appear in various real-world systems, such as …

Microbial communities such as biofilms are commonly found at interfaces. However, it is
unclear how the physical environment of interfaces may contribute to the development and …

Aggregation underlies the collective dynamics of a diversity of organisms, enabling the
formation of complex structures and emergent behaviours on interaction with the …

This review explores agency, behavior intrinsic to an organism and initiated by it, as it
relates to the development of multicellular organisms and its evolution. We ask how agential …

Environmental microorganisms have evolved a variety of strategies to survive fluctuations in
environmental conditions, including the production of biofilms and differentiation into spores …

In this work we investigate the dynamics of the number-density fluctuations of a dilute
suspension of active particles in a linear viscoelastic fluid. We propose a model for the …

Understanding how bacteria adapt their social behavior to environmental changes is of
crucial importance from both biological and clinical perspectives. Staphylococcus aureus is …

Introduction MrpC, a member of the CRP/Fnr transcription factor superfamily, is necessary to
induce and control the multicellular developmental program of the bacterium, Myxococcus …

Many bacteria inhabit thin layers of water on solid surfaces both naturally in soils or on hosts
or textiles and in the lab on agar hydrogels. In these environments, cells experience …
