The collective behaviour resulting from the interaction of individuals with similar features (molecules, cells, organisms or species) often displays a function or meaning at a higher level of description. For instance, in order for the heart to beat it is not sufficient that each single cell contracts, but the contraction of the muscle cells must occur in a coordinated manner throughout the tissue. Although not yet clearly related to a function, synchronisation of the metabolic activity of yeast cells suspensions provide a further example of a system allowing for controlled experimental investigations of how microscopic features determine population dynamics. On another level, the oscillations in the behavioural strategies induced by evolut...
