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

The organized flight of birds is one of the most easily observed, yet challenging to study,
phenomena in biology. Birds that fly in organized groups generally do so in one of two …

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

Fish travel in schools, birds migrate in flocks, honeybees swarm, and ants build trails. How
and why do these collective behaviors occur? Exploring how coordinated group patterns …

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 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 …

Movement in animal groups is highly varied and ranges from seemingly disordered motion
in swarms to coordinated aligned motion in flocks and schools. These social interactions are …

Animal groups are said to make consensus decisions when group members come to agree
on the same option. Consensus decisions are taxonomically widespread and potentially …

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

Swarming behaviours in animals have been extensively studied owing to their implications
for the evolution of cooperation, social cognition and predator–prey dynamics. An important …
