Animal groups on the move can take different configurations. For example, groups of fish
can either be 'shoals' or 'schools': shoals are simply aggregations of individuals; schools are …

Zebrafish has been a favourite of developmental biologists and numerous genetic tools
have been developed for this species. In recent years, zebrafish has become an …

Determining individual-level interactions that govern highly coordinated motion in animal
groups or cellular aggregates has been a long-standing challenge, central to understanding …

In many species, group cohesion may be the result of a compromise between opposing
forces (eg predator avoidance and competition for food). However, little empirical data exists …

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 …

The formations made by gregarious animals can range from loose aggregates to highly
synchronized and ordered structures. For very large, coordinated groups, both physical and …

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

Zebrafish has been in the forefront of developmental biology and genetics, but only recently
has interest in their behavior increased. Zebrafish are small and prolific, which lends this …

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 …

Collective behavior, such as shoaling in teleost fish, is driven by the perceptual recognition
of conspecific animals. Because social interactions are mutual, it has been difficult to …
