Binary pusher–puller mixtures of active microswimmers and their collective behaviour [PDF]
Molecular Physics, 2018 Microswimmers are active particles of microscopic size that self-propel by setting the surrounding fluid into motion. According to the kind of far-field fluid flow that they induce, they are classified into pushers and pullers. Many studies have explored

Crowds and Collective Behavior [PDF]
, 2020 The challenge for a psychology of crowds and collective behavior is to explain how large numbers of people are, spontaneously, able to act together in patterned and socially meaningful ways and, at the same time, how crowd events can bring about social and psychological change.

The principles of collective animal behaviour [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2005 In recent years, the concept of self-organization has been used to understand collective behaviour of animals. The central tenet of self-organization is that simple repeated interactions between individuals can produce complex adaptive patterns at the level of the group.

A Simple Generative Model of Collective Online Behaviour [PDF]
, 2013 Human activities increasingly take place in online environments, providing novel opportunities for relating individual behaviours to population-level outcomes. In this paper, we introduce a simple generative model for the collective behaviour of millions

ESTIMATION AND TESTING OF HOUSEHOLD LABOUR SUPPLY MODELS: EVIDENCE FROM SPAIN [PDF]
This paper provides an empirical contribution to the current debate about the suitability of the collective model proposed by Chiappori (1988, 1992) for analysing intrahousehold behaviour in the labour supply context. We follow Chiappori et al.(2002) and

Branch banking dynamics, collective behaviour and overclustering [PDF]
We provide an empirical and theoretical analysis of branch banking dynamics in Italy, focussing on banks' location choices in the decentralised system emerged after the deregulation of late 1980s and early 1990s.

Royal Society Open ScienceSleep is an important but overlooked component of animal behaviour, especially its social and conservation facets. Here, we use 15 years of data to comprehensively describe the roosting behaviour of cooperatively breeding birds and test hypotheses about ...

Swimmers in thin films: from swarming to hydrodynamic instabilities
, 2010 We investigate theoretically the collective dynamics of a suspension of low Reynolds number swimmers that are confined to two dimensions by a thin fluid film.
