Researchers questioned if coordinated group movements by animals moving through a fluid could reduce the energy cost of locomotion. By combining biomechanics and bioenergetics the researchers found ...

A newly published perspective in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface argues that advances in AI, sensing technologies and modelling are transforming the study of collective animal behavior, ...

Schools of fish are mesmerizing examples of collective animal behavior. Thousands of individuals move in near-perfect synchrony, despite each fish having only a limited view of their surroundings. How ...

A perspective in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface argues that advances in AI, sensing technologies and modeling are transforming the study of collective animal behavior, with implications ...

A pet dog sits on command, but nobody expects an insect to follow human instructions. So it may come as a surprise to learn that researchers recently succeeded in controlling cockroaches with tiny ...

These five incredible photos from the 2024 edition of The Nature Photography Contest demonstrate collective animal behavior at its finest. In a flock of sheep, survival is a collective effort. Each ...

Many people, including scientists, have argued that all life is somehow interconnected. While some write off these ideas as "fluff" and "unscientific," there is accumulating evidence from detailed ...

People may think of survival as an individual act—every animal (and person) for themselves. But a new study from UCLA suggests that when it comes to facing hardship together, social groups may ...
