Collective animal behavior
Collective animal behavior describes the coordinated behavior of large groups of similar animals as well as emergent properties of these groups. This can include the costs and benefits of group membership, the transfer of information across the group, the group decision-making process, and group locomotion and synchronization. Studying the principles of collective animal behavior has relevance to human engineering problems through the philosophy of biomimetics. For instance, determining the rules by which an individual animal navigates relative to its neighbors in a group can lead to advances in the deployment and control of groups of swimming or flying micro-robots such as UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles).
Examples
Examples of collective animal behavior include:
Proposed functions
Many functions of animal aggregations have been proposed. These proposed functions may be grouped into the four following categories: social and genetic, anti-predator, enhanced foraging, and increased locomotion efficiency.

Ethology
Ethology is the scientific and objective study of non-human animal behaviour rather than human behaviour and usually with a focus on behaviour under natural conditions, and viewing behaviour as an evolutionarily adaptive trait.Behaviourism is a term that also describes the scientific and objective study of animal behaviour, but usually refers to the study of human behavior and trained behavioural responses in a laboratory context, without a particular emphasis on evolutionary adaptivity.
Many naturalists have studied aspects of animal behaviour throughout history. Ethology has its scientific roots in the work of Charles Darwin and of American and German ornithologists of the late 19th and early 20th century, including Charles O. Whitman, Oskar Heinroth, and Wallace Craig. The modern discipline of ethology is generally considered to have begun during the 1930s with the work of Dutch biologist Nikolaas Tinbergen and by Austrian biologists Konrad Lorenz and Karl von Frisch, joint awardees of the 1973 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. Ethology is a combination of laboratory and field science, with a strong relation to some other disciplines such as neuroanatomy, ecology, and evolutionary biology. Ethologists are typically interested in a behavioural process rather than in a particular animal group, and often study one type of behaviour, such as aggression, in a number of unrelated animals.

Animal Behaviour (journal)
Animal Behaviour is a double-blind peer-reviewed scientific journal established in 1953 as The British Journal of Animal Behaviour, before obtaining its current title in 1958. It is published monthly by Elsevier for the Association for the Study of Animal Behaviour in collaboration with the Animal Behavior Society. It covers all aspects of ethology, including behavioural ecology, evolution of behaviour, sociobiology, ethology, behavioural physiology, population biology, and navigation and migration.
Abstracting and indexing
The journal is abstracted and indexed in EMBiology, Scopus, and the Science Citation Index. According to the Journal Citation Reports, the journal has a 2013 impact factor of 3.068.

Animal Behavior (film)
Animal Behavior is a 1989 comedy film directed by Jenny Bowen and Kjehl Rasmussen and starring Karen Allen, Armand Assante, and Holly Hunter.
Plot
The beautiful biologist Alex Brisco develops a new method to communicate with chimpanzees: instead of machines she uses a simple sign language. Her research and competition with ignorant colleagues lets her overlook the amorous approaches of cellist Mark. She accepts his help, but no more, because she believes he is married.
Production
This was the final film for Alexa Kenin who played Sheila Sandusky, released posthumously; her scenes were filmed in 1984 when the project was started by Jenny Bowen. Filming was intermittent for the next four years until it was completed by producer Kjehl Rasmussen. As a result, the director's name was credited with the pseudonym H. Anne Riley.

Iain Couzin: Collective behavior
Iain Couzin studies how animals coordinate behavior. He has discovered that locust plagues don't occur because the insects are cooperating. Rather, it is a forced march: if they stop, they risk being cannibalized. Such insights help communities to track oncoming outbreaks while also challenging scientists' theories of collective animal behavior.

Understanding collective behaviours | Iain Couzin
What research is being undertaken to understand collective behaviour? Iain Couzin specialises in collective animal behaviour, a phenomenon that encompasses flocking birds, shoaling fish and swarming locusts. He is a Scottish biologist based at Princeton University in the USA and has conducted the world's most detailed study into locust swarms in the desert of Mauritania, west Africa. These vast clouds of locusts devastate crops across the globe and lead directly to famine; his research uncovers ways to trick them into self-destruction and has huge implications for global food supply and health.

From Democratic Consensus to Cannibalistic Hordes: The Principles of Collective Animal Behavior
Collective organization is everywhere, both around us and within us. Our brains are composed of billions of interconnected cells communicating with chemical and electrical signals. We are integrated in our own collective human society. Elsewhere in the natural world hundreds of thousands of blind army ants coordinate a massive raid across the rainforest floor, a flock of birds arcs and ripples while descending to roost, and a fish school convulses, as if it is a single entity, when attacked by a predator. How can animal groups move in unison? How does individual behavior produce group dynamics? Do animal groups function as a "collective mind"? From locust swarms to bird flocks, from consensus decision-making in fish and among humans, Couzin will discuss how, and why, coordinated collective...

Animal Behaviour: A Very Short Introduction | Tristram Wyatt | Talks at Google
How animals behave is crucial to their survival and reproduction. The application of new molecular tools such as DNA fingerprinting and genomics is causing a revolution in the study of animal behaviour, while developments in computing and image analysis allow us to investigate behaviour in ways never previously possible. In this Talks at Google event, Dr Tristram Wyatt, Senior Research Associate at the Department of Zoology at Oxford University and visiting lecturer at University College London, discusses how our study of animal behaviour has developed over time. With examples including 'zombie cockroaches' and elephants that are scared of bees, Dr Wyatt considers how animal behaviour has evolved, how behaviours develop in each individual, and how we can explain collective animal behavio...

Alex Jordan - Interpreting Animal Behaviour | Collective Behaviour Seminar Series
Alex Jordan presents at the Collective Behaviour Seminar Series on "Limitations on our interpretations of animal behaviour, and how machines might help" The qualitative and potentially subjective nature of many ethological studies can lead to unresolvable debate over th interpretation of animal behaviour, and this problem may be exacerbated when the taxonomic distance between the human observer and the focal species increases. In this talk I will discuss recent work examining the potential for self-recognition in fish using the mirror test, asking how we can interpret ‘unusual’ behaviours in non-human animals. We observe that the cleaner wrasse Labroides dimidiatus, shows behaviour that may be interpreted as passing through all phases of the mark test: (i) social reactions towards the ref...

Alex Jordan presents at the Collective Behaviour Seminar Series on "Limitations on our interpretations of animal behaviour, and how machines might help"
The qualitative and potentially subjective nature of many ethological studies can lead to unresolvable debate over th interpretation of animal behaviour, and this problem may be exacerbated when the taxonomic distance between the human observer and the focal species increases. In this talk I will discuss recent work examining the potential for self-recognition in fish using the mirror test, asking how we can interpret ‘unusual’ behaviours in non-human animals. We observe that the cleaner wrasse Labroides dimidiatus, shows behaviour that may be interpreted as passing through all phases of the mark test: (i) social reactions towards the reflection, (ii) repeated idiosyncratic behaviours towards the mirror, and (iii) frequent observation of their reflection. When subsequently provided with a coloured tag in a modified mark test, fish attempt to remove the mark by scraping their body in the presence of a mirror but show no response towards transparent marks or to coloured marks in the absence of a mirror. This study has been met with significant resistance from parts of the behaviour community, who argue that interpretations of fish behaviour cannot be made in the same way as for mammals. I will discuss how our current approaches employing machine vision and artificial neural networks may provide a more objective and quantitative description of animal behaviour across taxa that open greater avenues to debate and discussion based on data rather than intuition.

What research is being undertaken to understand collective behaviour?
Iain Couzin specialises in collective animal behaviour, a phenomenon that encompasses flocking birds, shoaling fish and swarming locusts. He is a Scottish biologist based at Princeton University in the USA and has conducted the world's most detailed study into locust swarms in the desert of Mauritania, west Africa.
These vast clouds of locusts devastate crops across the globe and lead directly to famine; his research uncovers ways to trick them into self-destruction and has huge implications for global food supply and health. His research into swarming behaviour challenges orthodox theories of collective animal behaviour, while also having implications for human behaviour and crowd dynamics.
Iain Couzin spoke to a live audience at Wellcome Collection in December 2013. The event was part of the 'Exchanges at the Frontier' series, which hosts some of the biggest names in world science, and is a partnership between Wellcome Collection and BBC World Service.

Collective organization is everywhere, both around us and within us. Our brains are composed of billions of interconnected cells communicating with chemical and electrical signals. We are integrated in our own collective human society. Elsewhere in the natural world hundreds of thousands of blind army ants coordinate a massive raid across the rainforest floor, a flock of birds arcs and ripples while descending to roost, and a fish school convulses, as if it is a single entity, when attacked by a predator. How can animal groups move in unison? How does individual behavior produce group dynamics? Do animal groups function as a "collective mind"? From locust swarms to bird flocks, from consensus decision-making in fish and among humans, Couzin will discuss how, and why, coordinated collective behavior is so pervasive within the natural world.

The Imaging Barn in Radolfzell
The Imaging Barn is a collaborative project between the Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour at the University of Konstanz and the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior near Radolfzell. Housed within a traditional 18th-century barn at the MPIAB campus, it is a core facility for studying the dynamics of highly naturalistic interactions, such as when animals or people meet, eat, or make decisions together.

How animals behave is crucial to their survival and reproduction. The application of new molecular tools such as DNA fingerprinting and genomics is causing a revolution in the study of animal behaviour, while developments in computing and image analysis allow us to investigate behaviour in ways never previously possible.
In this Talks at Google event, Dr Tristram Wyatt, Senior Research Associate at the Department of Zoology at Oxford University and visiting lecturer at University College London, discusses how our study of animal behaviour has developed over time. With examples including 'zombie cockroaches' and elephants that are scared of bees, Dr Wyatt considers how animal behaviour has evolved, how behaviours develop in each individual, and how we can explain collective animal behaviour.

Alex Jordan presents at the Collective Behaviour Seminar Series on "Limitations on our interpretations of animal behaviour, and how machines might help"
The qualitative and potentially subjective nature of many ethological studies can lead to unresolvable debate over th interpretation of animal behaviour, and this problem may be exacerbated when the taxonomic distance between the human observer and the focal species increases. In this talk I will discuss recent work examining the potential for self-recognition in fish using the mirror test, asking how we can interpret ‘unusual’ behaviours in non-human animals. We observe that the cleaner wrasse Labroides dimidiatus, shows behaviour that may be interpreted as passing through all phases of the mark test: (i) social reactions towards the reflection, (ii) repeated idiosyncratic behaviours towards the mirror, and (iii) frequent observation of their reflection. When subsequently provided with a coloured tag in a modified mark test, fish attempt to remove the mark by scraping their body in the presence of a mirror but show no response towards transparent marks or to coloured marks in the absence of a mirror. This study has been met with significant resistance from parts of the behaviour community, who argue that interpretations of fish behaviour cannot be made in the same way as for mammals. I will discuss how our current approaches employing machine vision and artificial neural networks may provide a more objective and quantitative description of animal behaviour across taxa that open greater avenues to debate and discussion based on data rather than intuition.

Collective animal behavior
Collective animal behavior describes the coordinated behavior of large groups of similar animals as well as emergent properties of these groups. This can include the costs and benefits of group membership, the transfer of information across the group, the group decision-making process, and group locomotion and synchronization. Studying the principles of collective animal behavior has relevance to human engineering problems through the philosophy of biomimetics. For instance, determining the rules by which an individual animal navigates relative to its neighbors in a group can lead to advances in the deployment and control of groups of swimming or flying micro-robots such as UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles).
Examples
Examples of collective animal behavior include:
Proposed functions
Many functions of animal aggregations have been proposed. These proposed functions may be grouped into the four following categories: social and genetic, anti-predator, enhanced foraging, and increased locomotion efficiency.
