Collective behaviour across animal species
We posit a new geometric perspective to define, detect, and classify inherent patterns of collective behaviour across a variety of animal species. We show that machine learning techniques, and specifically the isometric mapping algorithm, allow the identification and interpretation of different types of collective behaviour in five social animal species. These results offer a first glimpse at t...
متن کاملThe modelling cycle for collective animal behaviour
Collective animal behaviour is the study of how interactions between individuals produce group level patterns, and why these interactions have evolved. This study has proved itself uniquely interdisciplinary, involving physicists, mathematicians, engineers as well as biologists. Almost all experimental work in this area is related directly or indirectly to mathematical models, with regular move...
متن کاملThe principles of collective animal behaviour.
In recent years, the concept of self-organization has been used to understand collective behaviour of animals. The central tenet of self-organization is that simple repeated interactions between individuals can produce complex adaptive patterns at the level of the group. Inspiration comes from patterns seen in physical systems, such as spiralling chemical waves, which arise without complexity a...
متن کاملBringing a Time-Depth Perspective to Collective Animal Behaviour.
The field of collective animal behaviour examines how relatively simple, local interactions between individuals in groups combine to produce global-level outcomes. Existing mathematical models and empirical work have identified candidate mechanisms for numerous collective phenomena but have typically focused on one-off or short-term performance. We argue that feedback between collective perform...
متن کاملModelling Collective Animal Behaviour using Extended Point Distribution Models
Models of collective animal behaviour, such as the ocking of birds, are usually based upon simulations that appear to exhibit properties of the animals in question. In this paper, we describe an alternative approach; that of automatically extracting a model of animal behaviour from video sequences of real animals. Point distribution models (PDMs) are used to describe the shape of a ock of ducks...
