Flocking behaviour is often presented as an example of a self-organized process, where
individuals continuously negotiate on the direction of travel and compromise by moving …

Among the many fascinating examples of collective behavior exhibited by animal groups,
some species are known to alternate slow group dispersion in space with rapid aggregation …

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

The mechanism of self-organization resulting in coordinated collective motion has received
wide attention from a range of scientists interested in both its technical and biological …

Animal collective movements are a key example of a system that links two clearly defined
levels of organization: the individual and the group. Most models investigating collective …

Flocking is a paradigmatic example of collective animal behaviour, where global order
emerges out of self-organization. Each individual has a tendency to align its flight direction …

Many animal groups, for example schools of fish or flocks of birds, exhibit complex dynamic
patterns while moving cohesively in the same direction. These flocking patterns have been …

Current understanding of collective behaviour in nature is based largely on models that
assume that identical agents obey the same interaction rules, but in reality interactions may …

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 …

The living world is full of cohesive collectives that have evolved to move together with high
efficiency. Schools of fish or flocks of birds maintain their global direction despite significant …
