The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Allelomimetic synchronization in Merino sheep (2007, unknown): “1999), or the choice of a single aggregation site by cockroaches (Jeanson et al. 2005).”
Selective mimetism at departure in collective movements of Macaca tonkeana: an experimental and theoretical approach (2009, background): “Similarly, mimetism underlies collective movements in different species (Detrain et al. 1999; Camazine et al. 2001; Couzin & Krause 2003; Jeanson et al. 2005; Sumpter 2006; Gautrais et al. 2007).”
Swarm robotics: a review from the swarm engineering perspective (2013, methodology): “Other examples of natural systems performing aggregation have been described by Grünbaum and Okubo (1994), Breder (1954), Jeanson et al. (2005), and Amé et al. (2006).”
The principles of collective animal behaviour (2006, background): “For the cockroach, Blattella germanica, the positive feedback mechanism for aggregation is resting time: cockroaches rest for longer at sites containing more cockroaches (Ame et al. 2004; Jeanson et al. 2005).”
Kin recognition via cuticular hydrocarbons shapes cockroach social life (2009, background): “These cockroaches use strain odors and CHCs to select resting sites and to form aggregates (Rivault and Cloarec 1998; Jeanson et al. 2005; Amé et al. 2006).”
