    • Active oscillations in microscale navigation 

      Wan, KY (Springer, 4 September 2023)
      Living organisms routinely navigate their surroundings in search of better conditions, more food, or to avoid predators. Typically, animals do so by integrating sensory cues from the environment with their locomotor ...
    • Mechanisms and functions of multiciliary coordination 

      Wan, KY; Poon, RN (Elsevier, 30 November 2023)
      Ciliated organisms are present in virtually every branch of the eukaryotic tree of life. In diverse systems, cilia operate in a coordinated manner to drive fluid flows, or even propel entire organisms. How do groups of ...
    • Bioelectric control of locomotor gaits in the walking ciliate Euplotes 

      Laeverenz-Schlogelhofer, H; Wan, KY (Cell Press, 17 January 2024)
      Diverse animal species exhibit highly stereotyped behavioral actions and locomotor sequences as they explore their natural environments. In many such cases, the neural basis of behavior is well established, where dedicated ...
    • Internal noise interference to warnings of tipping points in generic multi-dimensional dynamical systems 

      Morr, A; Boers, N; Ashwin, P (Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2024)
      A deterministic dynamical system that slowly passes through a generic fold-type (saddle-node) bifurcation can be reduced to one-dimensional dynamics close to the bifurcation because of the centre manifold theorem. It is ...
    • Doubly intermittent maps with critical points, unbounded derivatives and regularly varying tail 

      Muhammad, M; Schindler, TI (American Institute of Mathematical Sciences (AIMS), 16 July 2024)
      We consider a class of interval maps with up to two indifferent fixed points, an unbounded derivative, and regularly varying tails. Under some mild assumptions, we prove the existence of a unique mixing absolutely continuous ...
