'Selfish herds' of guppies follow complex movement rules, but not when information is limited.
Under the threat of predation, animals can decrease their level of risk by moving towards other individuals to form compact groups. A significant body of theoretical work has proposed multiple movement rules, varying in complexity, which might underlie this process of aggregation. However, if and how animals use these rules to form compact groups is still not well understood, and how environmen...

متن کاملSharks shape the geometry of a selfish seal herd: experimental evidence from seal decoys.
Many animals respond to predation risk by forming groups. Evolutionary explanations for group formation in previously ungrouped, but loosely associated prey have typically evoked the selfish herd hypothesis. However, despite over 600 studies across a diverse array of taxa, the critical assumptions of this hypothesis have remained collectively untested, owing to several confounding problems in r...
متن کاملMovement observation affects movement execution in a simple response task.
The present study was designed to examine the hypothesis that stimulus-response arrangements with high ideomotor compatibility lead to substantial compatibility effects even in simple response tasks. In Experiment 1, participants executed pre-instructed finger movements in response to compatible and incompatible finger movements. A pronounced reaction time advantage was found for compatible as ...
متن کاملMovement Rules Revisited
The Praguian approach to formal description of language (in detail, see Sgall et aI. 1986), works with dependency syntax and includes the topicfocus articulation into the (underlying, tectogrammatical) syntactic representations of sentences, using the left-to-right order of the nodes of the dependency tree for that purpose. The edges of the tree denote the dependency relations and the nodes car...
