Many animals, including apex predators, move in groups. We know this collective behavior is fundamental to the animal's ability to move in complex environments, but less is known about what drives the ...

Virtual Reality experiments have illuminated the rhythmic glue that could keep animals moving in synchrony. Across nature, animals from swarming insects to herding mammals can organize into seemingly ...

Animal movement ecology seeks to understand why, how and where animals move across landscapes and seascapes, integrating behavioural, physiological and environmental drivers. Biotelemetry techniques ...

For the first time, scientists have calculated the global impact of human activity on animal movement, revealing widespread impacts that threaten species survival and biodiversity. While it has been ...

Researchers questioned if coordinated group movements by animals moving through a fluid could reduce the energy cost of locomotion. By combining biomechanics and bioenergetics the researchers found ...
