In today's episode Clara and Carolina are joined by Professor Iain Couzin, the director of the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior and the German Research Foundation (DFG) Excellence Cluster. His work aims to reveal the principles that underlie evolved collective behavior, using a wide range of biological systems, from insect swarms to schooling fish, primate groups and humans.
In this episode, we discuss the variety of collective behaviours seen across species and probe at some of the key questions in the field including: to what extent can computational models portray the dynamics of collective decision making? What is the purpose of collective behaviours? Do the same rules guide collective behaviours across species? Listen to learn more!
