    Spatial modulation of individual behaviors enables an ordered structure of diverse phenotypes during bacterial group migration

    Yang Bai, Caiyun He ... Xiongfei Fu
    Bacterial population can coordinate individuals of different phenotypes by spatial modulation of their run-and-tumble behaviors, resulting in collective group migration with an ordered structure of phenotypes.

    Shared behavioral mechanisms underlie C. elegans aggregation and swarming

    Siyu Serena Ding, Linus J Schumacher ... André EX Brown
    Two seemingly distinct behaviors in social C. elegans worms, namely aggregating into groups and swarming over food, are driven by the same underlying mechanisms.

    Sensing complementary temporal features of odor signals enhances navigation of diverse turbulent plumes

    Viraaj Jayaram, Nirag Kadakia, Thierry Emonet
    Effective navigation of odor plumes in the wild requires that animals sense multiple temporal aspects of odor signals, which are encoded naturally by neurons in the fly olfactory circuit.

    Building resilient cervical cancer prevention through gender-neutral HPV vaccination

    Irene Man, Damien Georges ... Iacopo Baussano
    Shifting from girls-only to gender-neutral HPV vaccination strategy improves the resilience of cervical cancer prevention and enhances progress towards cervical cancer elimination.

    Transmission dynamics and control of multidrug-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in neonates in a developing country

    Thomas Crellen, Paul Turner ... Ben S Cooper
    Colonisation with resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in a Cambodian neonatal unit is driven by person-to-person transmission, transmissibility varies by sequence type, and antibiotic consumption generally increases the risk of acquisition.

    Conformist social learning leads to self-organised prevention against adverse bias in risky decision making

    Wataru Toyokawa, Wolfgang Gaissmaier
    Mathematical modelling and large-scale online experiments revealed that learning from others can induce 'smarter' decisions even when most individuals are biased towards adverse risk aversion.

    Inference and control of the nosocomial transmission of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus

    Sen Pei, Flaviano Morone ... Jeffrey L Shaman
    The asymptomatic colonization and importation of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in hospital settings can be inferred from observed cases using combined model-inference methods and used to inform improved interventions.

    Diffusive lensing as a mechanism of intracellular transport and compartmentalization

    Achuthan Raja Venkatesh, Kathy H Le ... Onn Brandman
    Agent-based modeling of space-dependent diffusivity inside cells reveals potential effects on biomolecule concentration and mesoscale dynamics.

    A neural-level model of spatial memory and imagery

    Andrej Bicanski, Neil Burgess
    The BB model explains spatial cognition in terms of interactions between specific neuronal populations, providing a common computational framework for the human neuropsychological and in vivo animal electrophysiological literatures.

    Reducing societal impacts of SARS-CoV-2 interventions through subnational implementation

    Mark M Dekker, Luc E Coffeng ... Sake J de Vlas
    An agent-based, population-scale, geographically explicit model, and integration of comprehensive data sources on demography, mobility, interactions and SARS-CoV-2 parameters, show that subnational implementations of intervention measures may provide better strategic choices for controlling future epidemics.
