Review Collective cognition in animal groups
"... The remarkable collective action of organisms such as swarming ants, schooling fish and flocking birds has long captivated the attention of artists, naturalists, philosophers and scientists. Despite a long history of scientific investigation, only now are we beginning to decipher the relationship be ..."

between individuals and group-level properties. This interdisciplinary effort is beginning to reveal the underlying principles of collective decision-making in animal groups, demonstrating how social interactions, individual state, environmental modification and processes of informational amplification
Human Animal Group

It is not the purpose of this volume to consider aIl of the chemical agents used in textile manufacture. Numerous texti ..."

Understanding Animal Group-Size Distributions
, 2011
"... One of the most striking aspects of animal groups is their remarkable variation in size, both within and between species. While a number of mechanistic models have been proposed to explain this variation, there are few comprehensive datasets against which these models have been tested. In particular ..."

Animating Human Athletics
, 1995
"... This paper describes algorithms for the animation of men and women performing three dynamic athletic behaviors: running, bicycling, and vaulting. We animate these behaviors using control algorithms that cause a physically realistic model to perform the desired maneuver. For example, control algorith ..."

Deciphering interactions in moving animal groups
- Plos Comput. Biol
"... Collective motion phenomena in large groups of social organisms have long fascinated the observer, especially in cases, such as bird flocks or fish schools, where large-scale highly coordinated actions emerge in the absence of obvious leaders. However, the mechanisms involved in this self-organized ..."

-organized behavior are still poorly understood, because the individual-level interactions underlying them remain elusive. Here, we demonstrate the power of a bottom-up methodology to build models for animal group motion from data gathered at the individual scale. Using video tracks of fish shoal in a tank, we show
Coarse Collective Dynamics of Animal Groups
"... Abstract The coarse-grained, computer-assisted analysis of models of collective dynamics in animal groups involves (a) identifying appropriate observables that best describe the state of these complex systems and (b) characterizing the dynamics of such observables. We devise “equation-free ” simulat ..."

Scaling in Animal Group-Size Distributions
, 1999
"... An elementary model of animal aggregation is presented. The group size distributions resulting from this model are truncated power laws. The predictions of the model are found to be consistent with data that describe the group size distributions of tuna fish, sardinellas and African buffalos. (1) Co ..."
