Copycat dynamics in leaderless animal group navigation
Background: Many animals are known to have improved navigational efficiency when moving together as a social group. One potential mechanism for social group navigation is known as the ‘many wrongs principle’, where information from many inaccurate compasses is pooled across the group. In order to understand how animal groups may use the many wrongs principle to navigate, it is important to cons...

متن کاملThe Cultural Dynamics of Copycat Suicide
The observation that suicides sometimes cluster in space and/or time has led to suggestions that these clusters are caused by the social learning of suicide-related behaviours, or "copycat suicides". Point clusters are clusters of suicides localised in both time and space, and have been attributed to direct social learning from nearby individuals. Mass clusters are clusters of suicides localise...
متن کاملAnimal navigation
Nearly all animals move in an oriented way, but navigation is something more: the directed movement toward a goal, as opposed to steering toward or away from, say, light or gravity. Navigation involves the neural processing of sensory inputs to determine a direction and perhaps distance. For instance, if a honey bee were to seek food south of its hive, it would depart from home with the sun to ...
متن کاملDynamics of Decision Making in Animal Group Motion
We present a continuous model of a multi-agent system motivated by simulation studies on dynamics of decision making in animal groups in motion. Each individual moves at constant speed in the plane and adjusts its heading in response to relative headings of others in the population. Two subgroups of the population are informed such that individuals in each subgroup have a preferred direction of...
