New paper out 🥳
The physiological costs of leadership in collective movements. - Trying to lead the group can be stressful, so it might not always be worth it!#openaccess at @currentbiology.bsky.social @cbehav.bsky.social @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social
Finally out in PRX Life. Enjoy 😄 journals.aps.org/prxlife/abst...
Social Cohesion, residence time, and habitat-choice accuracy emerge as key metrics shaped by social interaction, revealing exploration-exploitation trade-offs in collective foraging of egalitarian groups. @cbehav.bsky.social
We have a full house . Konstanz School of Collective Behavior is off to a great start with Iain Couzin as our opening keynote speaker @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social @cbehav.bsky.social

The second season of our podcast "In the Swarm" is here! Get ready for a new episode every 2 weeks on Wednesdays!
First episode is with Dr. Liang Li, who designs, builds, and optimises robotic fish to study energy saving mechanisms within fish schools.🐟

Today at the CASCB Seminar, we dive into marine robotics! We’re delighted to welcome Mike Benjamin (MIT), who will talk about evolving unmanned marine vehicles into collaborative, coordinated swarms.
What happens when autonomy goes collective? Come find out.

As humans, we tend to intuitively follow the gazes of others. But do pigeons do this, too? And what role does group behaviour play in the process? A behavioural experiment by the #UniKonstanz Cluster of Excellence @cbehav.bsky.social in collaboration with Kyoto University: https://t1p.de/v6otj

We are proud to have @maxcapelle.bsky.social's paper out on bioRxiv! He found that phototactic behavior in #zebrafish switches during #ontogeny🐟🔆 Through elegant behavioral dissections, he identifies the navigational strategies related to this transition. www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... Thread 👇
