Inequality is not unique to human groups and societies. Individuals with relatively little power possess a variety of behavioral strategies to counterbalance or regulate power differences. In humans, ...
Collective behavior in biological systems emerges from local interactions among individuals, enabling groups to adapt to dynamic environments. Traditional modeling approaches, such as bottom-up and ...
Territorial behaviors comprise a set of coordinated actions and response patterns found across animal species that promote the exclusive access to resources. House mice are highly territorial with a ...
Some animals follow patterns that baffle even the sharpest researchers. Whales beach themselves in mass numbers. Goats topple over when startled. Dolphins craft perfect rings of bubbles. These ...
Lacking a brain, muscles, and even organs, the tiny marine animal Trichoplax nevertheless manages to move with remarkable efficiency. In a study published in Current Biology, scientists show that this ...
