Bacteria push the limits of chemotactic precision to navigate dynamic chemical gradients.
Paper summary
Investigates how bacteria track short-lived chemical gradients. Quantitative analysis of chemotactic responses connects sensory precision and motility to rapid aggregation around changing resource patches.
Relevance to the project
A biological baseline for energy-seeking movement under limited information. Compare a simple local or history-based policy with evolved behavior in moving-source environments.
Species-specific sensing performance cannot be assumed for abstract simulated entities.
