Dynamical Ising model of spatially coupled ecological oscillators.

ABSTRACT: Long-range synchrony from short-range interactions is a familiar pattern in biological and physical systems, many of which share a common set of 'universal' properties at the point of synchronization. Common biological systems of coupled oscillators have been shown to be members of the Ising universality class, meaning that the very simple Ising model replicates certain spatial statistics of these systems at stationarity. This observation is useful because it reveals which aspects of spatial pattern arise independently of the details governing local dynamics, resulting in both deeper understanding of and a simpler baseline model for biological synchrony. However, in many situations a system's dynamics are of greater interest than their static spatial properties. Here, we ask whether a dyna
