Switching of behavioral modes and their modulation by a geometrical cue in the ciliate Stentor coeruleus

Protists ubiquitously live in nature and play key roles in the food web chain. Their habitats consist of various geometrical structures, such as porous media and rigid surfaces, affecting their motilities.
