Data-driven inference of local behavioural rules predicts emergent properties of Phytophthora zoospore dispersal
Motile microorganisms explore complex environments in search of nutrients, hosts and favourable ecological niches. Plant-pathogenic oomycetes, for instance, undergo such an exploratory phase through biflagellate zoospores that actively swim through water-filled soil pores before infecting host tissues. Linking individual zoospore swimming behaviour to emergent dispersal remains challenging. Here,…
