Nature-inspired optimization algorithms, especially swarm based algorithms (SAs), solve
many scientific and engineering problems due to their flexibility and simplicity. These …

It is widely acknowledged that the left and right hemispheres of human brains display both
anatomical and functional asymmetries. For more than a century, brain and behavioral …

Collaboration or social interactions in which two or more individuals coordinate their
behavior to produce outcomes from which both individuals benefit are common in nature …

The epic story and ultimate big history of how human society evolved from intimate chimp
communities into the sprawling civilizations of a world-dominating species If a chimpanzee …

Cooperation experiments have long been used to explore the cognition underlying animals'
coordination towards a shared goal. While the ability to understand the need for a partner in …

Collective behaviour, social interactions and leadership in animal groups are often driven by
individual differences. However, most studies focus on same-species groups, in which …

Detailed quantifications of how predators and their grouping prey interact in three
dimensions (3D) remain rare. Here we record the structure and dynamics of fish shoals …

According to the criticality hypothesis, collective biological systems should operate in a
special parameter region, close to so-called critical points, where the collective behavior …

Group‐hunting is ubiquitous across animal taxa and has received considerable attention in
the context of its functions. By contrast much less is known about the mechanisms by which …

Marine piscivores have evolved a variety of morphological and behavioural adaptations,
including group foraging, to optimize foraging efficiency when targeting shoaling fish. For …
