Abstract

[P. polycephalum imitates development of man-made transport networks of a country when configuration of nutrients represents major urban areas. We employ this feature of the slime mould to imitate Mexican migration to USA, which is the World’s largest migration system. In laboratory experiments with 3D Nylon terrains of USA we analyse development of migratory routes from Mexico-USA border to ten urban areas with high concentration of Mexican migrants. From results of laboratory experiments we extract topologies of migratory routes, and highlight a role of elevations in shaping the human movement networks.]
