Flies as Ship Captains? Digital Evolution Unravels Selective Pressures to Avoid Collision in Drosophila
Ali Tehrani-Saleh, Christoph Adami
Flies that walk in a covered planar arena on straight paths avoid colliding with each other, but which of the two flies stops is not random. High-throughput video observations, cou…
Exploring the coevolution of predator and prey morphology and behavior
Randal S. Olson, Arend Hintze, Fred C. Dyer +2
A common idiom in biology education states, "Eyes in the front, the animal hunts. Eyes on the side, the animal hides." In this paper, we explore one possible explanation for why pr…
Exploring the evolution of a trade-off between vigilance and foraging in group-living organisms
Randal S. Olson, Patrick B. Haley, Fred C. Dyer +1
Despite the fact that grouping behavior has been actively studied for over a century, the relative importance of the numerous proposed fitness benefits of grouping remain unclear.…
Risk aversion as an evolutionary adaptation
Arend Hintze, Randal S. Olson, Christoph Adami +1
Risk aversion is a common behavior universal to humans and animals alike. Economists have traditionally defined risk preferences by the curvature of the utility function. Psycholog…
Evolution of swarming behavior is shaped by how predators attack
Randal S. Olson, David B. Knoester, Christoph Adami
Animal grouping behaviors have been widely studied due to their implications for understanding social intelligence, collective cognition, and potential applications in engineering,…
Predator confusion is sufficient to evolve swarming behavior
Randal S. Olson, Arend Hintze, Fred C. Dyer +2
Swarming behaviors in animals have been extensively studied due to their implications for the evolution of cooperation, social cognition, and predator-prey dynamics. An important g…
