Flocking is a paradigmatic case of self-organized collective behavior in biology and a living
example of active matter. Several models and theories have been developed in recent years …

Moving animal groups display remarkable feats of coordination. This coordination is largely
achieved when individuals adjust their movement in response to their neighbours' …

Fish travel in schools, birds migrate in flocks, honeybees swarm, and ants build trails. How
and why do these collective behaviors occur? Exploring how coordinated group patterns …

Collective behavior in biological systems is a complex topic, to say the least. It runs wildly
across scales in both space and time, involving taxonomically vastly different organisms …

Flocks of birds exhibit a remarkable degree of coordination and collective response. It is not
just that thousands of individuals fly, on average, in the same direction and at the same …

Collective phenomena in animal groups have attracted much attention in the last years,
becoming one of the hottest topics in ethology. There are various reasons for this. On the …

Automated tracking of animal movement allows analyses that would not otherwise be
possible by providing great quantities of data. The additional capability of tracking in real …

Models of self-propelled particles (SPPs) are an indispensable tool to investigate collective
animal behaviour. Originally, SPP models were proposed with metric interactions, where …
