Title: Biofilm Rheology: Properties, Applications, and Uncertainty Abstract: Biofilms—communities of bacteria encased in a self-produced extracellular matrix—exhibit unique mechanical properties that are essential to their formation, persistence, and adaptation to environmental conditions. These properties emerge dynamically as biofilms interact with their physical and chemical surroundings. Recent advances have provided deeper insights into the structural composition of the biofilm matrix and...

Title: Modeling Foraging Ant Dynamics in Multiple Food Source Environments Abstract: Foraging for resources is an essential process for the daily life of an ant colony. What makes this process so fascinating is the self-organization of ants into trails using chemical pheromone in the absence of direct communication. Here we present a stochastic lattice model that captures essential features of foraging ant dynamics inspired by recent agent-based models while forgoing more detailed interactions...
