Pair Formation in Insect Swarms Driven by Adaptive Long-Range Interactions
Dan Gorbonos, James G. Puckett, Kasper van der Vaart +3
In swarms of flying insects, the motions of individuals are largely uncoordinated with those of their neighbors, unlike the highly ordered motion of bird flocks. However, it has be…

Testing a thermodynamic approach to collective animal behavior in laboratory fish schools
Julia A. Giannini, James G. Puckett
Collective behaviors displayed by groups of social animals are observed frequently in nature. Understanding and predicting the behavior of complex biological systems is dependent o…

Similarities between Insect Swarms and Isothermal Globular Clusters
Dan Gorbonos, Kasper van der Vaart, Michael Sinhuber +4
Previous work has suggested that disordered swarms of flying insects can be well modeled as self-gravitating systems, as long as the "gravitational" interaction is adaptive. Motiva…
