Low-oxygen areas are expanding in the oceans as a result of climate change. Work carried
out during the past two decades suggests that, in addition to impairing basic physiological …

The effect of phase difference on the collective locomotion of two tandem flapping foils is
numerically studied in this paper. The numerical results indicate that the collective …

Fish schools and bird flocks exhibit complex collective dynamics whose self-organization
principles are largely unknown. The influence of hydrodynamics on such collectives has …

It is a long-held perception that schooling swimming of fish can provide individuals in a
group with additional hydrodynamic benefits. However how fish maintain a stable schooling …

Avoiding predation is generally seen as the most common explanation for why animals
aggregate. However, it remains questionable whether the existing theory provides a …

In nature, the phenomenon of cluster movements of fish, birds, and insects is universal,
which constantly inspires people to explore its advantages. In this study, the aerodynamic …

For a long time, fish school swimming has attracted a great deal of attention in biological
systems, as fish schools can have complex hydrodynamic effects on individuals. This work …

Phenotypes that allow animals to detect, weather, and predict changes efficiently are
essential for survival in fluctuating environments. Some phenotypes may remain specialized …

In moving animal groups, social interactions play a key role in the ability of individuals to
achieve coordinated motion. However, a large number of environmental and cognitive …

Flying and swimming in nature present sophisticated and exciting ventures in biomimetics,
which seeks sustainable solutions and solves practical problems by emulating nature's time …
