Some examples include, traveling pulses of action potentials in neural fibers [ 51], waves in cardiac tissues in the heart [ 27, 28], aggregation of multicellular organisms, animal aggregates, etc [ 19].
Could the transient aggregation of unicellular organisms have paved the way for the evolution of the multicellular animals?
It could capture such phenomena as the aggregation of micro-organisms and mobile elements such as plasmids into a growing biofilm, or their selection as members of a stable multilevel club, as for instance in the case of marine cyanobacteria and cyanophages (Alperovitch-Lavy et al. 2011; Sullivan et al. 2006).
Deep-water sponges are considered ecosystem engineers, and the presence of large aggregations of these organisms, commonly referred to as sponge grounds, is associated with enhanced biodiversity and abundance of epibenthic fauna compared to non-sponge habitat.
Landscape and population level patterns form through the aggregation of responses of individual organisms to heterogeneity.
In an earlier paper [ 15], the authors used discriminant analysis, a supervised statistical technique, based on a training data-set that was formed by the authors using the aggregation of known GIs from different organisms.
utilization of data produced by some organisms by other organisms through the combination and aggregation of initial data into various other data products, such as composite indicators.
Cell cell aggregation and cell substratum adhesion are modeled by generating appropriate binding forces between discrete representations of organisms that may hold them together, or if fluid stresses are large, may yield and release the organisms.
Other LEA proteins, such as nematode AavLEA1 and plant Em protect organisms from desiccation-induced aggregation of citrate synthase.
