Understanding how animal groups achieve coordinated movement

JE Herbert-Read - Journal of Experimental Biology, 2016 - journals.biologists.com
Moving animal groups display remarkable feats of coordination. This coordination is largely
achieved when individuals adjust their movement in response to their neighbours' …

Vortex phase matching as a strategy for schooling in robots and in fish

L Li, M Nagy, JM Graving, J Bak-Coleman, G Xie… - Nature …, 2020 - nature.com
It has long been proposed that flying and swimming animals could exploit neighbour-
induced flows. Despite this it is still not clear whether, and if so how, schooling fish …

Simple phalanx pattern leads to energy saving in cohesive fish schooling

I Ashraf, H Bradshaw, TT Ha, J Halloy… - Proceedings of the …, 2017 - National Acad Sciences
The question of how individuals in a population organize when living in groups arises for
systems as different as a swarm of microorganisms or a flock of seagulls. The different …

Zebrafish social behavior in the wild

PS Suriyampola, DS Shelton, R Shukla, T Roy, A Bhat… - Zebrafish, 2016 - liebertpub.com
