Data-driven modeling of group formation in the fission-fusion dynamics of Bechstein's bats
N. Perony, G. Kerth, F. Schweitzer
The paper models fission-fusion dynamics in Bechstein's bats using an agent-based model, showing that group formation depends on colony size and predicts a critical system size for group emergence.
