Adaptive cross-country optimisation strategies in thermal soaring birds

Göksel Keskin, Olivier Duriez, Pedro Lacerda +2

Thermal soaring enables birds to perform cost-efficient flights during foraging or migration trips. Yet, although all soaring birds exploit vertical winds effectively, this group c…

Long-term tracking of social structure in groups of rats

Mate Nagy, Jacob D. Davidson, Gabor Vasarhelyi +4

Rodents serve as an important model for examining both individual and collective behavior. Dominance within rodent social structures can determine access to critical resources, suc…

3D-MuPPET: 3D Multi-Pigeon Pose Estimation and Tracking

Urs Waldmann, Alex Hoi Hang Chan, Hemal Naik +5

Markerless methods for animal posture tracking have been rapidly developing recently, but frameworks and benchmarks for tracking large animal groups in 3D are still lacking. To ove…

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…

Self-organized UAV Traffic in Realistic Environments

Csaba Virágh, Máté Nagy, Carlos Gershenson +1

We investigated different dense multirotor UAV traffic simulation scenarios in open 2D and 3D space, under realistic environments with the presence of sensor noise, communication d…

Robustness of flight leadership relations in pigeons

Andrea Flack, Zsuzsa Ákos, Máté Nagy +2

Collective animal movements produce spectacular natural phenomena that arise from simple local interactions among group members. Flocks of homing pigeons, Columba livia, provide a…
