Ecology and Evolution, 2022 A mixed‐species bird flock is a social assemblage where two or more bird species are moving together while foraging and might benefit from increased foraging efficiency and antipredator vigilance.

Behavioural plasticity and the transition to order in jackdaw flocks
Nature Communications, 2019 Collective behaviour is typically thought to arise from individuals following fixed interaction rules. The possibility that interaction rules may change under different circumstances has thus only rarely been investigated.

Complex patterns of collective escape in starling flocks under predation
Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2019 Collective behaviour of animals has been a main focus of recent research, yet few empirical studies deal with this issue in the context of predation, a major driver of social complexity in many animal species.

Scale-free correlations in starling flocks [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2009 From bird flocks to fish schools, animal groups often seem to react to environmental perturbations as if of one mind. Most studies in collective animal behavior have aimed to understand how a globally ordered state may emerge from simple behavioral rules.

Poultry Science, 2019 In poultry flocks, flock weight uniformity is often defined as the percent individuals within 10% of the mean body weight (BW) and the variability of this uniformity can be expressed as the CV of BW.
