Studying animal behavior as collective phenomena is a powerful tool for understanding
social processes, including group coordination and decision-making. However, linking …

The advent of miniaturized biologging devices has provided ecologists with unprecedented
opportunities to record animal movement across scales, and led to the collection of ever …

Groups of animals inhabit vastly different sensory worlds, or umwelten, which shape
fundamental aspects of their behaviour. Yet the sensory ecology of species is rarely …

Social interactions are a significant factor that influence the decision-making of species
ranging from humans to bacteria. In the context of animal migration, social interactions may …

The effects of heterogeneity in group composition remain a major hurdle to our
understanding of collective behavior across disciplines. In social insects, division of labor …

GPS‐based tracking is widely used for studying wild social animals. Much like traditional
observational methods, using GPS devices requires making a number of decisions about …

When navigating heterogeneous landscapes, large carnivores must balance trade‐offs
between multiple goals, including minimizing energetic expenditure, maintaining access to …

Group‐hunting is ubiquitous across animal taxa and has received considerable attention in
the context of its functions. By contrast much less is known about the mechanisms by which …
