Adaptation, Learning, and Optimization over Networks (2014, background): “For example, fish schools are unusually skilled at navigating their environment with remarkable discipline and at configuring the topology of their school in the face of danger from predators [79, 188]; when a predator is sighted or sensed, the entire school of fish adjusts its configuration to let ”
WRITING MEMORIES WITH LIGHT-ADDRESSABLE REINFORCEMENT CIRCUITRY (2009, background): “physiological causes, it may report collective influences on individual decision making (Quinn et al., 1974; Couzin, 2009), and it does not allow the animal’s behavior to control the rate and timing of reinforcement.”
Swarm intelligence in humans: diversity can trump ability (2011, methodology): “Averaging has been suggested as a simple processing rule of individual inputs (Simons 2004; Couzin 2009) and there is some evidence from navigation behaviour in human groups (N 1⁄4 10 individuals) that individual interactions result in some form of averaging process (Faria et al.”
Mechanisms of social cognition. (2012, background): “But also, like bees, human beings cooperate and can make group decisions that are better than those made by individuals (Couzin 2009).”
A collective navigation hypothesis for homeward migration in anadromous salmonids (2016, background): “Collective behaviour has been shown, both theoretically and experimentally, to increase the ability of individuals in groups to sense and respond to their environments for many taxa, including fishes (Couzin 2009; Berdahl et al. 2013).”
Terrestrial animal tracking as an eye on life and planet (2015, background): “Amassivemulti-individualmonitoringprogram would allow a quorum sensing of our planet (113), using a variety of species to tap into the diversity of senses that have evolved in different animal groups.”
Inverse Reinforcement Learning in Swarm Systems (2016, background): “nanomedicine [10], the study of collective animal behavior [6, 8, 31], or the design of complex distributed systems like programmable matter [11], distributed sensor networks [15, 32] or self-assembly structures [34]).”

Colloquium: Criticality and dynamical scaling in living systems (2017, background): “Flock of birds and fish schools behave as plastic entities able to exhibit coherent motion, including e.g. rapid escape manoeuvres when attacked by predators, which confers obvious fitness advantages to the group as a whole (Couzin, 2007, 2009).”
Collective decision-making (2017, background): “see [7,22]) may provide new insights into the underlying principles of collective decision making in social groups.”
