Vortex phase matching as a strategy for schooling in robots and in fish

open access: yesNature 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 ...

Fluctuation spectra of large random dynamical systems reveal hidden structure in ecological networks

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Fluctuations in ecosystems and other large dynamical systems are driven by intrinsic and extrinsic noise and contain hidden information which is difficult to extract.

Physiological reactivity to acute mental stress in essential hypertension—a systematic review

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
ObjectiveExaggerated physiological reactions to acute mental stress (AMS) are associated with hypertension (development) and have been proposed to play an important role in mediating the cardiovascular disease risk with hypertension. A variety of studies

Group-level differences in social network structure remain repeatable after accounting for environmental drivers

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science, 2023
Individuals show consistent between-individual behavioural variation when they interact with conspecifics or heterospecifics. Such patterns might underlie emergent group-specific behavioural patterns and between-group behavioural differences.

The performance of field sampling for parasite detection in a wild passerine

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, 2022
Parasites can impact the behavior of animals and alter the interplay with ecological factors in their environment. Studying the effects that parasites have on animals thus requires accurate estimates of infections in individuals.

Night skies through animals’ eyes—Quantifying night-time visual scenes and light pollution as viewed by animals

open access: yesFrontiers in Cellular Neuroscience, 2022
A large proportion of animal species enjoy the benefits of being active at night, and have evolved the corresponding optical and neural adaptations to cope with the challenges of low light intensities. However, over the past century electric lighting has

Risk and retribution: how punishment uncertainty weakens norms of cooperationRisk and retribution: how punishment uncertainty weakens norms of cooperation [PDF]

open access: yesRoyal Society Open Science
Punishment can sustain cooperation, but in real-world settings, sanctions are often inconsistently applied. We tested how punishment uncertainty affects cooperation when individuals can choose between institutions with predictable or unpredictable ...

The principles of collective animal behaviour [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical 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.

Collective Animal Behaviour

open access: yes, 2011
Collective Animal Behavior is a fascinating and inspiring book. Collective phenomena are ubiquitous in physical, biological and social systems and understanding them represents a major issue in several areas of research.

Motion behaviour recognition dataset collected from human perception of collective motion behaviour

open access: yesData in Brief, 2023
Collective motion behaviour such as the movement of swarming bees, flocking birds or schooling fish has inspired computer-based swarming systems. They are widely used in agent formation control, including aerial and ground vehicles, teams of rescue robots, and exploration of dangerous environments with groups of robots.
