Information integration for decision-making in desert locusts
iScience, 2023 Summary: Locust swarms can extend over hundred kilometers, and starvation compels this ancient pest to devour everything in its path. Theory suggests that gregarious behavior benefits foraging efficiency, yet the role of social cohesion remains elusive ...

Seasonality impacts collective movements in a wild group-living bird
Movement Ecology, 2021 Background A challenge faced by animals living in groups with stable long-term membership is to effectively coordinate their actions and maintain cohesion.

A guide to sampling design for GPS‐based studies of animal societies
Methods in Ecology and Evolution, 2023 GPS‐based tracking is widely used for studying wild social animals. Much like traditional observational methods, using GPS devices requires making a number of decisions about sampling that can affect the robustness of a study's conclusions.

Collective behaviors and networks [PDF]
EPJ Data Science, 2014 The goal of this thematic series is to provide a discussion venue about recent advances in the study of networks and their applications to the study of collective behavior in socio-technical systems. The series includes contributions exploring the intersection between data-driven studies of complex networks and agent-based models of collective social ...

Duetting as a Collective Behavior [PDF]
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2016 Mated birds of many species vocalize together, producing duets. Duetting behavior occurs at two levels of organization: the individual level and the pair level. Individuals initiate vocalizations, answer their mates’ vocalizations, and control the structure and timing of their own vocalizations.

Extremal collective behavior [PDF]
49th IEEE Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), 2010 Curves and natural frames can be used for describing and controlling motion in both biological and engineering contexts (e.g., pursuit and formation control). The geometry of curves and frames leads naturally to a Lie group formulation where coordinated motion is represented by interacting particles on Lie groups - specifically, SE(2) or SE(3). Here we

Frontiers in Marine Science, 2021 A key aspect of understanding social interactions in marine animals is determining whether individuals freely interact in fission-fusion groups, or have spatially structured interactions, for example territories or home ranges.

Scientific Reports, 2022 Using a motion-capture system and custom head-calibration methods, we reconstructed the head-centric view of freely behaving pigeons and examined how they orient their head when presented with various types of attention-getting objects at various ...
