The onset of collective behavior in social amoebae
TL;DR
Quantified threshold conditions for collective aggregation
Research on how collective behavior emerges in Dictyostelium, providing quantitative understanding of the transition from individual to collective action through distributed signaling mechanisms.
Key Findings from Gregor & al. (2010)
- Quantified threshold conditions for collective aggregation
- Demonstrated self-amplifying signaling dynamics
- Showed how local rules produce global coordination
