Perceptual constraints of motion shape animal movement strategies

This study shows that fish adjust their movement strategies to optimize prey detection by balancing motion-induced perceptual costs and benefits.

Real-Time Human Interaction with Virtual Swarms in Shared Physical Space

This study introduces CoBe XR, a system enabling real-time human interaction with virtual swarms through natural movement, showing participants can adapt to and control swarm dynamics without specialized interfaces.

Synchronization of the collective air-breathing behavior in juvenile Arapaima gigas

The paper studies how juvenile Arapaima gigas synchronize air-breathing behavior in groups despite individual differences, showing that assortative interaction rules enable collective synchronization.

Collective anti-predator escape manoeuvres through optimal attack and avoidance strategies

The paper investigates collective escape patterns in sardines under predator attack, showing fountain effects arise from optimal escape rules and predator strategies.
