Resumen:
Euglenids exhibit an unconventional motility strategy amongst unicellular eukaryotes, consisting of large amplitude highly concerted deformations of the entire body (euglenoid movement or metaboly), poorly understood as compared to cilliary or flagelar locomotion. We investigate the kinematics and hydrodynamics of such motions with statistical learning and continuum mechanics. We examine the shape morphing mechanism of euglenids, which could be extended to engineering systems.
