Quantitative biology opens trail to ecological exploration, evolutionary prediction

Back-to-back papers uncover surprising new findings on bacterial chemotaxis — the movement of bacterial cells in response to chemical stimuli — one of the most studied areas of molecular biology. The new papers take a quantitative biology approach to understanding the movement of bacterial populations. The results open the door to a more comprehensive understanding of fundamental questions of ecological exploration and evolutionary prediction.
