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

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.

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.

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 ...

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

Simulating Dynamical Features of Escape Panic [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
One of the most disastrous forms of collective human behaviour is the kind of crowd stampede induced by panic, often leading to fatalities as people are crushed or trampled.

The entropic basis of collective behaviour. [PDF]

open access: yesJ R Soc Interface, 2015
We identify a unique viewpoint on the collective behaviour of intelligent agents. We first develop a highly general abstract model for the possible future lives these agents may encounter as a result of their decisions. In the context of these possibilities, we show that the causal entropic principle , whereby ...

Exploiting Environmental Computation in a Multi-Agent Model of Slime Mould

open access: yes, 2015
Very simple organisms, such as the single-celled amoeboid slime mould Physarum polycephalum possess no neural tissue yet, despite this, are known to exhibit complex biological and computational behaviour.

Habitat and social factors shape individual decisions and emergent group structure during baboon collective movement

open access: yeseLife, 2017
For group-living animals traveling through heterogeneous landscapes, collective movement can be influenced by both habitat structure and social interactions. Yet research in collective behavior has largely neglected habitat influences on movement.
