From Molecules to Management: Mechanisms and Consequences of Locust Phase Polyphenism (2017, background): “Above a critical population density, these local interactions on the scale of a few centimetres can generate highly ordered marching behaviour within groups of locusts that extend for hundreds of metres (Buhl et al., 2006).”
Inferring the structure and dynamics of interactions in schooling fish (2011, methodology): “Unlike previous work inferring interaction rules based on the spatial configurations of individuals (20, 22, 25) or on distributions of particular variables such as speed, polarization, or turning rate (19, 21, 24), our effective-force approach identifies the mean reaction of a focal fish to the pos”
Self-organised complex aerial displays of thousands of starlings: a model (2009, background): “So far biologically-oriented models of swarming have shown that stable swarming patterns may arise by self-organisation from rules for movement and interactions with others close by (Buhl et al., 2006; Couzin et al., 2005; Helbing et al., 2005; Hemelrijk, 2002; Parrish and Edelstein-Keshet, 1999).”
Fluid dynamics and noise in bacterial cell–cell and cell–surface scattering (2011, background): “However, the main implication of the present study is that short-range forces and noise are likely to dominate the interactions between swimming bacteria, so that collective motion in bacterial suspensions, thin films (4, 53), and thin wetting layers (54) relates closely to that seen in driven granu”
Collective States, Multistability and Transitional Behavior in Schooling Fish (2013, background): “[14] for an experimental example of density-driven transitions in locust swarms).”
Colloquium: Criticality and dynamical scaling in living systems (2017, result): “This is consistent with experimental findings; e.g. Buhl et al. (2006) investigated the social behavior of locusts and reported on a density-driven phase transition from disordered movement of individuals to highly aligned collective motion as density is increased (Dyson et al., 2015).”
