Local equilibrium in bird flocks
Thierry Mora, Aleksandra M. Walczak, Lorenzo Del Castello +6
The correlated motion of flocks is an instance of global order emerging from local interactions. An essential difference with analogous ferromagnetic systems is that flocks are act…
Diffusion of individual birds in starling flocks
Andrea Cavagna, Silvio M. Duarte Queiros, Irene Giardina +2
Flocking is a paradigmatic example of collective animal behaviour, where decentralized interaction rules give rise to a globally ordered state. In the emergence of order out of sel…
Scale-free correlations in bird flocks
Andrea Cavagna, Alessio Cimarelli, Irene Giardina +4
From bird flocks to fish schools, animal groups often seem to react to environmental perturbations as if of one mind. Most studies in collective animal behaviour have aimed to unde…
Interaction Ruling Animal Collective Behaviour Depends on Topological rather than Metric Distance: Evidence from a Field Study
M. Ballerini, N. Cabibbo, R. Candelier +9
Numerical models indicate that collective animal behaviour may emerge from simple local rules of interaction among the individuals. However, very little is known about the nature o…
