Proto-Cooperation: group hunting sailfish improve hunting success by alternating attacks on grouping prey
James E Herbert-Read, Pawel Romanczuk, Stefan Krause +8
We present evidence of a novel form of group hunting. Individual sailfish (Istiophorus platypterus) alternate attacks with other group members on their schooling prey (Sardinella a…
Identifying differences in the rules of interaction between individuals in moving animal groups
Timothy. M. Schaerf, James E. Herbert-Read, Mary R. Myerscough +2
Collective movement can be achieved when individuals respond to the local movements and positions of their neighbours. Some individuals may disproportionately influence group movem…
Body size affects the strength of social interactions and spatial organisation of a schooling fish (Pseudomugil signifer)
Maksym Romenskyy, James E. Herbert-Read, Ashley J. W. Ward +1
While a rich variety of self-propelled particle models propose to explain the collective motion of fish and other animals, rigorous statistical comparison between models and data r…
Escape path complexity and its context dependency in Pacific blue-eyes (Pseudomugil signifer)
James E. Herbert-Read, Ashley J. W. Ward, David J. T. Sumpter +1
The escape trajectories animals take following a predatory attack appear to show high degrees of apparent 'randomness' - a property that has been described as 'protean behaviour'.…
Initiation and spread of escape waves within animal groups
James Herbert-Read, Jerome Buhl, Feng Hu +2
The exceptional reactivity of animal collectives to predatory attacks is thought to be due to rapid, but local, transfer of information between group members. These groups turn tog…
