Life history shapes variation in egg composition in the blue tit Cyanistes caeruleus

Cristina-Maria Valcu, Richard A. Scheltema, Ralf M. Schweiggert +5

Maternal investment directly shapes early developmental conditions and therefore has longterm fitness consequences for the offspring. In oviparous species prenatal maternal investm…

From local collective behavior to global migratory patterns in white storks

Andrea Flack, Mate Nagy, Wolfgang Fiedler +2

Soaring migrants exploit columns of rising air (thermals) to cover large distances with minimal energy. Employing social information while locating thermals may be beneficial, but…

Spatial organization and interactions of harvester ants during foraging activity

Jacob D. Davidson, Deborah M. Gordon

Local interactions, when individuals meet, can regulate collective behavior. In a system without any central control, the rate of interaction may depend simply on how the individua…

On-bird Sound Recordings: Automatic Acoustic Recognition of Activities and Contexts

Dan Stowell, Emmanouil Benetos, Lisa F. Gill

We introduce a novel approach to studying animal behaviour and the context in which it occurs, through the use of microphone backpacks carried on the backs of individual free-flyin…

Individual identity in songbirds: signal representations and metric learning for locating the information in complex corvid calls

Dan Stowell, Veronica Morfi, Lisa F. Gill

Bird calls range from simple tones to rich dynamic multi-harmonic structures. The more complex calls are very poorly understood at present, such as those of the scientifically impo…

Coordination Event Detection and Initiator Identification in Time Series Data

Chainarong Amornbunchornvej, Ivan Brugere, Ariana Strandburg-Peshkin +3

Behavior initiation is a form of leadership and is an important aspect of social organization that affects the processes of group formation, dynamics, and decision-making in human…

The Kinematics of Plant Nutation Reveals a Simple Relation Between Curvature and the Orientation of Differential Growth

Renaud Bastien, Yasmine Meroz

Nutation is an oscillatory movement that plants display during their development. Despite its ubiquity among plants movements, the relation between the observed movement and the un…

Detailed temporal structure of communication networks in groups of songbirds

Dan Stowell, Lisa Gill, David Clayton

Animals in groups often exchange calls, in patterns whose temporal structure may be influenced by contextual factors such as physical location and the social network structure of t…

Combining Spatial and Telemetric Features for Learning Animal Movement Models

Berk Kapicioglu, Robert E. Schapire, Martin Wikelski +1

We introduce a new graphical model for tracking radio-tagged animals and learning their movement patterns. The model provides a principled way to combine radio telemetry data with…

Non-random walks in monkeys and humans

Denis Boyer, Margaret C. Crofoot, Peter D. Walsh

Principles of self-organization play an increasingly central role in models of human activity. Notably, individual human displacements exhibit strongly recurrent patterns that are…
