Range expansions transition from pulled to pushed waves as growth becomes more cooperative in an experimental microbial population

Range expansions are becoming more frequent due to environmental changes and rare long-distance dispersal, often facilitated by anthropogenic activities. Simple models in theoretical ecology explain many emergent properties of range expansions, such as a constant expansion velocity, in terms of orga...
