Collective behaviour is all around. The Cluster of Excellence @CBehav @UniKonstanz and @MPI_animalbehav investigates #collectivebehaviour since 2019! With this film we invite you to take a look at our research and dive into the swarm to learn more about us. @dfg_public

What’s even cooler than #bats? Yes - bats surfing storm fronts during dark & blustery nights!🦇😃New research shows that noctule bats harness warm tailwinds to save energy during their migratory journeys mpg.de/23893833/1216-ornr-ba… @MPI_animalbehav @CBehav @EdwardHurme @dechmannlab

Curious about the details? Watch this video for a closer look at how microrobots solve the 'lazy agent' problem: youtube.com/watch?v=S_QVI1ww…
How can a team optimally mobilize its forces? A new study led by Veit-Lorenz Heuthe and Clemens Bechinger @UniKonstanz offers a clever solution - demonstrated with a swarm of microrobots! exc.uni-konstanz.de/collecti…

Scientistshave developed an #AI-based control strategy that enables individual laser-driven #microrobots within a swarm to cooperate, like ants or termites, to manipulate objects. @UniKonstanz @CBehav

What a fantastic shot! An aerial view of #sharks rounding up their prey has won the 2024 #Photography Competition @royalsociety! 🦈The photo was taken by postdoc @albi_angela, @MPI_animalbehav, who studies the predator-prey interactions of sharks and schools of #fish. 🥳
ALT A bird’s-eye view of four sharks and their schooling prey has been announced as the winner of the Royal Society Publishing Photography Competition 2024.

I am delighted and honored to have been awarded the Fyssen International Prize!
Sharing it with Jean-Louis Deneubourg makes it all the more special as he was instrumental to inspiring me to study collectives when I was a student. @CBehav @maxplanckpress
