In collective animal movements, speed matters—scientists use 'force map' to investigate fish schools

In order to research collective movement behavior in fish, the scientists used a so-called "force map,"—in this case, a visual representation of the various individuals' speeds, symbolized by arrows ...

Unlocking the energetic secrets of collective animal movement: How group behavior reduces energy costs in fish

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 ...

Fish reveal four distinct sleep states, including three with eye movements

Humans and other mammals cycle through distinct sleep phases. One of them is easily recognized by the darting motion of the eyes behind closed lids, giving it its name: REM (rapid eye movement) sleep.

Unlocking the energetic secrets of collective animal movement: How group behavior reduces energy costs in fish

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 ...
