Statistical Physics of Fish Collective Motion
Elena G. de Lamo, M. C. Miguel, R. Pastor-Satorras
We review recent theoretical and empirical advances that recast fish schooling within a statistical-physics framework, emphasizing how heterogeneous and time-dependent interactions…
Phase synchronization of fish schools through spatial gaps
Elena G. de Lamo, Óscar Sánchez, M. Carmen Miguel +1
We investigate how sensory coupling mediates phase coherence between spatially separated, confined active systems. Using two fish schools separated by a water-filled transparent ga…
Symmetry breaking in collective decision-making through higher-order interactions
David March-Pons, Romualdo Pastor-Satorras, M. Carmen Miguel
Collective decision-making is a widespread phenomenon in both biological and artificial systems, where individuals reach a consensus through social interactions. While traditional…
Data-Driven Stochastic Modeling of Schooling Fish: From Collective Dynamics to Individual Fluctuations
Elena G. de Lamo, M. Carmen Miguel, Romualdo Pastor-Satorras
Collective motion in animal groups emerges from the interplay between individual variability and social coordination, yet connecting these scales quantitatively has remained a majo…
Habituation determines spatial position in Hyphessobrycon herbertaxelrodi shoals through altered rules of interaction
Andreu Puy, Elisabet Gimeno, Francesc S. Beltran +4
Habituation plays a key role in shaping the collective behavior of moving animal groups, yet the effects of variation in habituation within groups are unknown. Here, we merge two s…
Non-linear inhibitory responses enhance performance in collective decision-making
David March-Pons, Romualdo Pastor-Satorras, M. Carmen Miguel
The precise modulation of activity through inhibitory signals ensures that both insect colonies and neural circuits operate efficiently and adaptively, highlighting the fundamental…
Signatures of criticality in turning avalanches of schooling fish
Andreu Puy, Elisabet Gimeno, David March-Pons +2
Moving animal groups transmit information through propagating waves or behavioral cascades, exhibiting characteristics akin to systems near a critical point from statistical physic…
Selective social interactions and speed-induced leadership in schooling fish
Andreu Puy, Elisabet Gimeno, Jordi Torrents +4
Animals moving together in groups are believed to interact among each other with effective social forces, such as attraction, repulsion and alignment. Such forces can be inferred u…
Scale-free behavioral cascades and effective leadership in schooling fish
Julia Mugica, Jordi Torrents, Javier Cristin +3
Behavioral contagion and the presence of behavioral cascades are natural features in groups of animals showing collective motion, such as schooling fish or grazing herbivores. Here…
Effects of heterogeneous social interactions on flocking dynamics
M. Carmen Miguel, Jack T. Parley, Romualdo Pastor-Satorras
Social relationships characterize the interactions that occur within social species and may have an important impact on collective animal motion. Here, we consider a variation of t…
Velocity fluctuations and hydrodynamic diffusion in sedimentation
M. -Carmen Miguel, R. Pastor-Satorras
We study non-equilibrium velocity fluctuations in a model for the sedimentation of non-Brownian particles experiencing long-range hydrodynamic interactions. The complex behavior of…
