Decentralized Competition Produces Nonlinear Dynamics Akin to Klinotaxis

Figure 4

(a) Crawling chemotaxis trajectories from Drosophila larvae taken from [18] (top) and our model (bottom) around a target located at the central colored circle. Both illustrations show the overlap of 47 individual paths. (b) Comparison of the average dependence of on between the trajectories from chemotaxis (black circles) and our model (blue inverted triangles). The model parameters are , , and . Experimental points are taken from [20].
