Schools, shoals and swarms are pervasive in the oceans. They have to provide very strong
advantages to have been selected and generalized in the course of evolution. Auto …

We propose a model and numerical method for the propulsion of rectangular and rhombic
lattices of flapping plates at (10–100) Reynolds numbers in incompressible flow. The …

While classic hydrodynamic models predict ordered formations for fish schools, observations
show that schools are seemingly disordered. Our experiments on robotic swimmers may …

Social context may influence the perception of sensory cues and the ability to display refined
behavioral responses. Previous work suggests that effective responses to environmental …

Atlantic salmon in marine farming environments are exposed to potentially detrimental
conditions through space and time. For instance, the vertical distribution of parasitic salmon …

Results of investigation of how social context affects responses to, and consumption of the
novel food in climbing perch, Anabas testudineus, are presented. The fish living in group fed …

The passive response of a semi-free flexible filament in the wake of a flapping foil is studied
numerically Three distinct flapping states are observed for the filament in different vortex …

Flexibility in animal foraging strategies can increase overall feeding efficiency for
individuals. For example, group foraging can increase the efficiency of resource exploitation; …

Animal aggregation, particularly in large-bodied species, is both a fascinating and intriguing
phenomenon. Here we analyzed the overwintering behavior of the European catfish, Silurus …

Understanding the flow physics behind fish schooling poses significant challenges due to
the difficulties in directly measuring hydrodynamic performance and the three-dimensional …
