Spatial self-organization resolves conflicts between individuality and collective migration Spatial self-organization resolves conflicts between individuality and collective migration, Published online: 05 June 2018; doi:10.1038/s41467-018-04539-4 How bacteria migrate collectively despite individual phenotypic variation is not understood. Here, the authors show that cells spontaneously sort themselves within moving bands such that variations in individual tumble bias, a determinant of gradient climbing speed, are compensated by the local gradient steepness experienced by individuals.
