The Ecology of Collective Behavior [PDF]
PLoS Biology, 2014 Similar patterns of interaction, such as network motifs and feedback loops, are used in many natural collective processes, probably because they have evolved independently under similar pressures. Here I consider how three environmental constraints may shape the evolution of collective behavior: the patchiness of resources, the operating costs of ...

Machine learning reveals cryptic dialects that explain mate choice in a songbird
Nature Communications, 2022 The authors show that captive populations of zebra finches, which have been kept in isolation for up to 100 generations, have diverged in song dialect. When individuals singing different dialects are mixed, mating is assortative for song dialect.

The benefits of swimming together
eLife, 2023 When a fish beats its tail, it produces vortices in the water that other fish could take advantage of to save energy while swimming.

Vortex phase matching as a strategy for schooling in robots and in fish
Nature Communications, 2020 Whether and how fish might benefit from swimming in schools is an ongoing intriguing debate. Li et al. conduct experiments with biomimetic robots and also with real fish to reveal a new behavioural strategy by which followers can exploit the vortices ...

Group size and composition influence collective movement in a highly social terrestrial bird
eLife, 2020 A challenge of group-living is to maintain cohesion while navigating through heterogeneous landscapes. Larger groups benefit from information pooling, translating to greater ‘collective intelligence’, but face increased coordination challenges.

Ecosphere, 2023 Estimating animal populations is essential for conservation. Censusing large congregations is especially important since these are priorities for protection, but efficiently counting hundreds of thousands of moving animals remains a challenge.

Collective Behavior with Endogenous Thresholds [PDF]
, 2006 We endogenize the threshold points in Granovetter’s threshold model of collective behavior (Granovetter 1978). We do this in a simple model that combines strategic complementarity and private information in a dynamic setup with endogenous order of moves.
