Imperfect Coordination in Collective Behaviors Across Scales: From Microbial Aggregates to Ungulate Migration

Watch a 44-minute workshop lecture from the ICTP-SAIFR Workshop on Synchronization that explores the fascinating world of collective behaviors and coordination across different biological scales. Delve into the research presented by Ricardo Martinez-Garcia from CASUS/HZDR and ICTP-SAIFR/IFT-UNESP as he examines imperfect coordination patterns in various biological systems, ranging from microscopic microbial aggregates to large-scale ungulate migration. Learn about the underlying principles and mechanisms that govern these collective behaviors, and understand how imperfect coordination manifests differently across various scales in nature. Part of the "Synchronization: from collective motion to brain dynamics" workshop held in February 2025.
