Robustness of self-organised systems to changes in behaviour: an example from real and simulated self-organised snail aggregations.

Group or population level self-organised systems comprise many individuals displaying group-level emergent properties. Current theory indicates that individual-level behaviours have an effect on the final group-level behaviour; that is, self-organised systems are sensitive to small changes in indivi...
