Emergent Collective Locomotion in an Active Polymer Model of Entangled Worm Blobs

Emergent Collective Locomotion in an Active Polymer Model of Entangled Worm Blobs

Numerous worm and arthropod species form physically-connected aggregations in which interactions among individuals give rise to emergent macroscale dynamics and functionalities that enhance collective survival. In particular, some aquatic worms such as the California blackworm (Lumbriculus variegatu...
