Exploration versus exploitation in space, mind, and society
Search is a ubiquitous property of life. Although diverse domains have worked on search
problems largely in isolation, recent trends across disciplines indicate that the formal …

Collective behaviour and swarm intelligence in slime moulds
The study of collective behaviour aims to understand how individual-level behaviours can
lead to complex group-level patterns. Collective behaviour has primarily been studied in …

Swarm intelligence and cyber-physical systems: concepts, challenges and future trends
Swarm Intelligence (SI) is a popular multi-agent framework that has been originally inspired
by swarm behaviors observed in natural systems, such as ant and bee colonies. In a system …

The diversity bonus in pooling local knowledge about complex problems
Recently, theoreticians have hypothesized that diverse groups, as opposed to groups that
are homogeneous, may have relative merits [SE Page, The Diversity Bonus (2019)]—all of …

Social learning strategies regulate the wisdom and madness of interactive crowds
Why groups of individuals sometimes exhibit collective 'wisdom'and other times maladaptive
'herding'is an enduring conundrum. Here we show that this apparent conflict is regulated by …

Decision accuracy in complex environments is often maximized by small group sizes
Individuals in groups, whether composed of humans or other animal species, often make
important decisions collectively, including avoiding predators, selecting a direction in which …

Larger groups of passerines are more efficient problem solvers in the wild
Group living commonly helps organisms face challenging environmental conditions.
Although a known phenomenon in humans, recent findings suggest that a benefit of group …

Convergence to consensus in heterogeneous groups and the emergence of informal leadership
When group cohesion is essential, groups must have efficient strategies in place for
consensus decision-making. Recent theoretical work suggests that shared decision-making …

Counteracting estimation bias and social influence to improve the wisdom of crowds
Aggregating multiple non-expert opinions into a collective estimate can improve accuracy
across many contexts. However, two sources of error can diminish collective wisdom …
