<i>Volvox barberi</i> flocks, forming near-optimal, two-dimensional, polydisperse lattice packings

2018-03-08

Abstract excerpt

Volvox barberi is a multicellular green alga forming spherical colonies of 10000-50000 differentiated somatic and germ cells. Here, I show that these colonies actively self-organize over minutes into “flocks” that can contain more than 100 colonies moving and rotating collectively for hours. The colonies in flocks form two-dimensional, irregular, “active crystals”, with lattice angles and colony diameters both fol...
