The physics of cooperative transport in groups of ants
Anyone who has moved furniture together with friends will appreciate that cooperative
transport requires some non-trivial communication. Yet ants are adept at collectively moving …

Intermittent collective motion in sheep results from alternating the role of leader and follower
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 …

From molecules to management: mechanisms and consequences of locust phase polyphenism
Abstract Locusts are grasshoppers (Orthoptera: Acrididae) that are characterised by their
capacity for extreme population density-dependent polyphenism, transforming between a …

Sensory collectives in natural systems
Groups of animals inhabit vastly different sensory worlds, or umwelten, which shape
fundamental aspects of their behaviour. Yet the sensory ecology of species is rarely …

A chemical defense deters cannibalism in migratory locusts
Many animals engage in cannibalism to supplement their diets. Among dense populations
of migratory locusts, cannibalism is prevalent. We show that under crowded conditions …

[HTML][HTML] Leaders in collective migration: are front cells really endowed with a particular set of skills?
E Theveneau, C Linker - F1000Research, 2017 - ncbi.nlm.nih.gov
Collective cell migration is the coordinated movement emerging from the interaction of at
least two cells. In multicellular organisms, collective cell migration is ubiquitous. During …

Visual processing and collective motion-related decision-making in desert locusts
Collectively moving groups of animals rely on the decision-making of locally interacting
individuals in order to maintain swarm cohesion. However, the complex and noisy visual …
