Finite-size scaling as a way to probe near-criticality in natural swarms
A. Attanasi, A. Cavagna, L. Del Castello +8
Collective behaviour in biological systems is often accompanied by strong correlations. The question has therefore arisen of whether correlation is amplified by the vicinity to som…
Emergence of collective changes in travel direction of starling flocks from individual birds fluctuations
Alessandro Attanasi, Andrea Cavagna, Lorenzo Del Castello +7
One of the most impressive features of moving animal groups is their ability to perform sudden coherent changes in travel direction. While this collective decision can be a respons…
Short-range interaction vs long-range correlation in bird flocks
Andrea Cavagna, Lorenzo Del Castello, Supravat Dey +4
Bird flocks are a paradigmatic example of collective motion. One of the prominent experimental traits discovered about flocks is the presence of long range velocity correlations be…
Flocking and turning: a new model for self-organized collective motion
Andrea Cavagna, Lorenzo Del Castello, Irene Giardina +8
Birds in a flock move in a correlated way, resulting in large polarization of velocities. A good understanding of this collective behavior exists for linear motion of the flock. Ye…
