Colloquium: Criticality and dynamical scaling in living systems

MA Munoz - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2018‏ - APS
A celebrated and controversial hypothesis suggests that some biological systems—parts,
aspects, or groups of them—may extract important functional benefits from operating at the …

Active Brownian particles: From individual to collective stochastic dynamics

P Romanczuk, M Bär, W Ebeling, B Lindner… - The European Physical …, 2012‏ - Springer
We review theoretical models of individual motility as well as collective dynamics and
pattern formation of active particles. We focus on simple models of active dynamics with a …

Inferring the structure and dynamics of interactions in schooling fish

Y Katz, K Tunstrøm, CC Ioannou, C Huepe… - Proceedings of the …, 2011‏ - pnas.org
Determining individual-level interactions that govern highly coordinated motion in animal
groups or cellular aggregates has been a long-standing challenge, central to understanding …

Heterophilious dynamics enhances consensus

S Motsch, E Tadmor - SIAM review, 2014‏ - SIAM
We review a general class of models for self-organized dynamics based on alignment. The
dynamics of such systems is governed solely by interactions among individuals or “agents,” …

Statistical mechanics for natural flocks of birds

W Bialek, A Cavagna, I Giardina, T Mora… - Proceedings of the …, 2012‏ - pnas.org
Flocking is a typical example of emergent collective behavior, where interactions between
individuals produce collective patterns on the large scale. Here we show how a quantitative …

Are biological systems poised at criticality?

T Mora, W Bialek - Journal of Statistical Physics, 2011‏ - Springer
Many of life's most fascinating phenomena emerge from interactions among many elements—
many amino acids determine the structure of a single protein, many genes determine the …

Collective animal behavior

DJT Sumpter - Collective animal behavior, 2010‏ - degruyter.com
Fish travel in schools, birds migrate in flocks, honeybees swarm, and ants build trails. How
and why do these collective behaviors occur? Exploring how coordinated group patterns …

Scale-free correlations in starling flocks

A Cavagna, A Cimarelli, I Giardina, G Parisi… - Proceedings of the …, 2010‏ - pnas.org
From bird flocks to fish schools, animal groups often seem to react to environmental
perturbations as if of one mind. Most studies in collective animal behavior have aimed to …

Inferring the rules of interaction of shoaling fish

JE Herbert-Read, A Perna, RP Mann… - Proceedings of the …, 2011‏ - pnas.org
Collective motion, where large numbers of individuals move synchronously together, is
achieved when individuals adopt interaction rules that determine how they respond to their …
