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

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

The development of tracking methods for automatically quantifying individual behavior and
social interactions in animal groups has open up new perspectives for building quantitative …

The ubiquity of consistent inter-individual differences in behavior (" animal personalities")[1,
2] suggests that they might play a fundamental role in driving the movements and …

Collective animal behavior is an emergent phenomenon arising from the local interactions of
the members of animal groups. Considerable progress has been made in characterizing …

Polarity, group velocity, and inter-individual spacing are characteristics of fish schools that
strongly affect individual school members. However, these characteristics are group-level …

Predation is thought to shape the macroscopic properties of animal groups, making moving
groups more cohesive and coordinated. Precisely how predation has shaped individuals' …

Coordinated motion and collective decision-making in fish schools result from complex
interactions by which individuals integrate information about the behavior of their neighbors …

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 …
