Ecological and social pressures interfere with homeostatic sleep regulation in the wild
eLife, 2022 Sleep is fundamental to the health and fitness of all animals. The physiological importance of sleep is underscored by the central role of homeostasis in determining sleep investment – following periods of sleep deprivation, individuals experience longer

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 ...

Predator–prey survival pressure is sufficient to evolve swarming behaviors
New Journal of Physics, 2023 The comprehension of how local interactions arise in global collective behavior is of utmost importance in both biological and physical research. Traditional agent-based models often rely on static rules that fail to capture the dynamic strategies of the

, 1998 Collective behavior is studied in globally coupled maps. Several coherent motions exist, even in fully desynchronized state. To characterize the collective behavior, we introduce scaling transformation of parameter, and detect the tongue-like structure ...

The presence of air sac nematodes in passerines and near-passerines in southern Germany
International Journal for Parasitology: Parasites and Wildlife, 2023 Major climatic changes in conjunction with animal movement may be associated with the spread of parasites and their vectors into new populations, with potentially important consequences for population persistence.

Collective behavior of heterogeneous neural networks
, 2010 We investigate a network of integrate-and-fire neurons characterized by a distribution of spiking frequencies. Upon increasing the coupling strength, the model exhibits a transition from an asynchronous regime to a nontrivial collective behavior.

Genetic Control of Collective Behavior in Zebrafish
iScience, 2020 Summary: Many animals, including humans, have evolved to live and move in groups. In humans, disrupted social interactions are a fundamental feature of many psychiatric disorders.

Evaluating drivers of female dominance in the spotted hyena
Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2022 IntroductionDominance relationships in which females dominate males are rare among mammals. Mechanistic hypotheses explaining the occurrence of female dominance suggest that females dominate males because (1) they are intrinsically more aggressive or ...

Statistical Complexity and Nontrivial Collective Behavior in Electroencephalografic Signals
, 2009 We calculate a measure of statistical complexity from the global dynamics of electroencephalographic (EEG) signals from healthy subjects and epileptic patients, and are able to stablish a criterion to characterize the collective behavior in both groups ...

Both prey and predator features predict the individual predation risk and survival of schooling prey
eLife, 2022 Predation is one of the main evolutionary drivers of social grouping. While it is well appreciated that predation risk is likely not shared equally among individuals within groups, its detailed quantification has remained difficult due to the speed of ...
