Collective behaviour without collective order in wild swarms of midges. [PDF]
PLoS Comput Biol, 2014 Collective behaviour is a widespread phenomenon in biology, cutting through a huge span of scales, from cell colonies up to bird flocks and fish schools.

Collective behaviour in 480-million-year-old trilobite arthropods from Morocco. [PDF]
Sci Rep, 2019 Interactions and coordination between conspecific individuals have produced a remarkable variety of collective behaviours. This co-operation occurs in vertebrate and invertebrate animals and is well expressed in the group flight of birds, fish shoals and

How vision governs the collective behaviour of dense cycling pelotons. [PDF]
J R Soc Interface, 2019 In densely packed groups demonstrating collective behaviour, such as bird flocks, fish schools or packs of bicycle racers (cycling pelotons), information propagates over a network, with individuals sensing and reacting to stimuli over relatively short ...

Multiscale Modelling Tool: Mathematical modelling of collective behaviour without the maths. [PDF]
PLoS One, 2019 Collective behaviour is of fundamental importance in the life sciences, where it appears at levels of biological complexity from single cells to superorganisms, in demography and the social sciences, where it describes the behaviour of populations, and ...

Inferring collective behaviour from a fossilized fish shoal. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2019 Collective motion by animal groups can emerge from simple rules that govern each individual's interactions with its neighbours. Studies of extant species have shown how such rules yield coordinated group behaviour, but little is known of their ...

Repeatable group differences in the collective behaviour of stickleback shoals across ecological contexts. [PDF]
Proc Biol Sci, 2018 Establishing how collective behaviour emerges is central to our understanding of animal societies. Previous research has highlighted how universal interaction rules shape collective behaviour, and that individual differences can drive group functioning ...

Predicting collective behaviour at the Hajj: place, space and the process of cooperation. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2018 Around 2 million pilgrims attend the annual Hajj to Mecca and the holy places, which are subject to dense crowding. Both architecture and psychology can be part of disaster risk reduction in relation to crowding, since both can affect the nature of ...

Interdisciplinary approaches for uncovering the impacts of architecture on collective behaviour. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2018 Built structures, such as animal nests or buildings that humans occupy, serve two overarching purposes: shelter and a space where individuals interact. The former has dominated much of the discussion in the literature.

Eco-evolutionary dynamics, density-dependent dispersal and collective behaviour: implications for salmon metapopulation robustness. [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2018 The spatial dispersal of individuals plays an important role in the dynamics of populations, and is central to metapopulation theory. Dispersal provides connections within metapopulations, promoting demographic and evolutionary rescue, but may also ...

Can we identify general architectural principles that impact the collective behaviour of both human and animal systems? [PDF]
Philos Trans R Soc Lond B Biol Sci, 2018 The search for general common principles that unify disciplines is a longstanding challenge for interdisciplinary research. Architecture has always been an interdisciplinary pursuit, combining engineering, art and culture.
