DOI: 10.1016/j.beproc.2021.104416
Abstract: Collective behaviour, such as shoaling in fish, benefits individuals through a variety of activities such as social information exchange and anti-predator defence. Human driven disturbance (e.g. anthropogenic noise) is known to affect the behaviour and… read more here.

Collective Behaviour: Physiology Determines Position
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2018 at "Current Biology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.cub.2018.02.070
Abstract: An animal's position within a group affects feeding - front positions generally offer richer pickings. However, a new study shows that position can be influenced by feeding because big meals reduce scope for locomotion. read more here.

Information can explain the dynamics of group order in animal collective behaviour

DOI: 10.1038/s41467-020-16578-x
Abstract: Animal groups vary in their collective order (or state), forming disordered swarms to highly polarized groups. One explanation for this variation is that individuals face differential benefits or costs depending on the group’s order, but… read more here.

Stochastic modelling of bird flocks: accounting for the cohesiveness of collective motion
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of the Royal Society Interface"
DOI: 10.1098/rsif.2021.0745
Abstract: Collective behaviour can be difficult to discern because it is not limited to animal aggregations such as flocks of birds and schools of fish wherein individuals spontaneously move in the same way despite the absence… read more here.

Challenges of mismatching timescales in longitudinal studies of collective behaviour

DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2022.0064
Abstract: How individuals’ prior experience and population evolutionary history shape emergent patterns in animal collectives remains a major gap in the study of collective behaviour. One reason for this is that the processes that can shape… read more here.

Dynamics of collective motion across time and species

DOI: 10.1098/rstb.2022.0068
Abstract: Most studies of collective animal behaviour rely on short-term observations, and comparisons of collective behaviour across different species and contexts are rare. We therefore have a limited understanding of intra- and interspecific variation in collective… read more here.

Dominating lengthscales of zebrafish collective behaviour
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "PLoS Computational Biology"
DOI: 10.1371/journal.pcbi.1009394
Abstract: Collective behaviour in living systems is observed across many scales, from bacteria to insects, to fish shoals. Zebrafish have emerged as a model system amenable to laboratory study. Here we report a three-dimensional study of… read more here.
