Non-symmetric interactions trigger collective swings in globally ordered systems
Andrea Cavagna, Irene Giardina, Asja Jelic +2
Many systems in nature, from ferromagnets to flocks of birds, exhibit ordering phenomena on the large scale. In physical systems order is statistically robust for large enough dime…
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…
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…
Social interactions dominate speed control in driving natural flocks toward criticality
William Bialek, Andrea Cavagna, Irene Giardina +5
Flocks of birds exhibit a remarkable degree of coordination and collective response. It is not just that thousands of individuals fly, on average, in the same direction and at the…
Collective behaviour without collective order in wild swarms of midges
A. Attanasi, A. Cavagna, L. Del Castello +8
Collective behaviour is a widespread phenomenon in biology, cutting through a huge span of scales, from cell colonies up to bird flocks and fish schools. The most prominent trait o…
GReTA - a novel Global and Recursive Tracking Algorithm in three dimensions
Alessandro Attanasi, Andrea Cavagna, Lorenzo Del Castello +8
Tracking multiple moving targets allows quantitative measure of the dynamic behavior in systems as diverse as animal groups in biology, turbulence in fluid dynamics and crowd and t…
