Collective animal behaviour is a form of social behavior involving the coordinated behavior of large groups of similar animals as well as emergent properties of these groups. This can include the costs and benefits of group membership, the transfer of information, decision-making process, locomotion and synchronization of the group.
Animals do move in groups governed by the collective. Think of a flock of birds, a parade of ants, a school of fish — all are swarms like those envisioned by Schätzing, if not quite as murderous.
1 paź 2016 · Here, I describe how trajectory data can be used to infer how animals interact in moving groups. I give examples of the similarities and differences in the spatial and directional organisations of animal groups between species, and discuss the rules that animals use to achieve this organisation.
26 mar 2018 · Although there are major challenges on the horizon, such as how to integrate habitat heterogeneity and individual-level variation into analyses of collective movement, we are now closer to a comprehensive understanding of both how and why animals move together in nature.
20 lut 2024 · Many animals, including apex predators, move in groups. We know this collective behavior is fundamental to the animal’s ability to move in complex environments, but less is known about what drives the behavior because many factors underlie its evolution.
21 paź 2021 · We propose an explanation of the enigmatic phenomenon—swirling motion in large groups of animals at different evolution stage; possibly we reveal its biological function.
3 lut 2005 · Groups of animals often have to make collective decisions, such as to move together to a specific resource, such as a nest site 1,5,6,7,8,9 or food source 2,4. The means by which such...
