Spontaneous body wall contractions stabilize the fluid microenvironment that shapes host–microbe associations

The freshwater polyp Hydra is a popular biological model system; however, we still do not understand one of its most salient behaviors, the generation of spontaneous body wall contractions. Here, by applying experimental fluid dynamics analysis and mathematical modeling, we provide functional eviden...
