The need to better understand variation in immune response in natural populations is now widely accepted26,27,28,29. Our understanding of immune responses in laboratory settings comes from animals that vary little either genetically or in prior experience. By contrast, animals in natural populations vary (perhaps extensively) in both of these. In this study, we describe the […] More

Modeling emerging populations in turbulent flows We consider a population of biological organisms in a moving fluid (Fig. 1). We are particularly interested in the problem of cooperation at very small scales, from tens of nanometers (e.g., small replicating RNA strands) to microns (e.g., single-celled organisms). Even at these small distances, the fluid can be described […] More
