Modeling collective motion in animal groups : from mathematical analysis to field data
Animals moving together cohesively is a commonly observed phenomenon in biology, with bird flocks and fish schools as familiar examples. Mathematical models have been developed in order to understand the mechanisms that lead to such coordinated motion. The Lagrangian framework of modeling, wherein i...
