The entrapment and death of the ciliate Mesodinium rubrum in the mucus threads in cultures with Dinophysis is described and quantified. Feeding experiments with different concentrations and predator-prey ratios of Dinophysis acuta, Dinophysis acumina...
Microorganisms move in challenging environments by periodic changes in body shape. In contrast, current artificial microrobots cannot actively deform, exhibiting at best passive bending under external fields. Here, by taking advantage of the wireless...
There is still a significant gap between our understanding of neural circuits and the behaviours they compute-i.e. the computations performed by these neural networks (Carandini 2012 , 507-509. (doi:10.1038/nn.3043)). Cellular decision-making process...
Place a drop of pond water under the microscope, and you will likely find an ocean of extraordinary and diverse single-celled organisms called . This remarkable group of single-celled organisms wield microtubules, active systems, electrical signaling...
