Interplay of mesoscale physics and agent-like behaviors in the parallel evolution of aggregative multicellularity

Abstract Myxobacteria and dictyostelids are prokaryotic and eukaryotic multicellular lineages, respectively, that after nutrient depletion aggregate and develop into structures called fruiting bodies. The developmental processes and resulting morphological outcomes resemble one another to a remarkab...
