Schematic illustrating the principle components of the model. (a) Under chemotaxis alone, organisms are directed towards high concentrations of a secreted aggregating cue. (b) Under positive rheotaxis, organisms are transported by the flow, but also orient and swim against the current. (c) Under both rheotaxis and chemotaxis, the organisms must balance their overall movements according to both the attractant distribution and the flow field.
