• Collective Vigilance in the Greater Kudu: Towards a Better Understanding of Synchronization Patterns (2012, background): “Second, the contagion of vigilance may be caused by a possibly incorrect use of public information (Giraldeau et al. 2002; Sirot 2006) or the need to complete the information gleaned after observing others’ behaviour by a personal scanning of the environment (Lima 1995).”
• A new bio-inspired optimisation algorithm: Bird Swarm Algorithm (2016, background): “For flock-feeding birds, the social behaviours give the social animals a survival advantage (Sirot, 2006).”
• Aerial flocking patterns of wintering starlings, Sturnus vulgaris, under different predation risk (2009, unknown): “These differences are intuitively not surprising per se and models assume that large and compact flocks confer advantages to the individual owing to risk dilution and collective detection (e.g. Krause & Ruxton 2002; Sirot 2006).”
