Collective motion, where large numbers of individuals move synchronously together, is
achieved when individuals adopt interaction rules that determine how they respond to their …

The spontaneous emergence of pattern formation is ubiquitous in nature, often arising as a
collective phenomenon from interactions among a large number of individual constituents or …

Movement in animal groups is highly varied and ranges from seemingly disordered motion
in swarms to coordinated aligned motion in flocks and schools. These social interactions are …

Collective motion phenomena in large groups of social organisms have long fascinated the
observer, especially in cases, such as bird flocks or fish schools, where large-scale highly …

Flocking is a paradigmatic case of self-organized collective behavior in biology and a living
example of active matter. Several models and theories have been developed in recent years …

Moving animal groups display remarkable feats of coordination. This coordination is largely
achieved when individuals adjust their movement in response to their neighbours' …

Fish schooling is a phenomenon of long-lasting interest in ethology and ecology, widely
spread across taxa and ecological contexts, and has attracted much interest from statistical …

Mobile animal groups provide some of the most compelling examples of self-organization in
the natural world. While field observations of songbird flocks wheeling in the sky or anchovy …

Human activities have fundamentally altered the marine environment, creating a need for
effective management in one of Earth's most challenging habitats. Remote camera imagery …

We report on the dynamics of collective alignment in groups of the cichlid fish Etroplus
suratensis. Focusing on small-to intermediate-sized groups (10≲ N≲ 100), we demonstrate …
