Collective behaviour is all around. The Cluster of Excellence @CBehav @UniKonstanz and @MPI_animalbehav investigates #collectivebehaviour since 2019! With this film we invite you to take a look at our research and dive into the swarm to learn more about us. @dfg_public

What’s even cooler than #bats? Yes - bats surfing storm fronts during dark & blustery nights!🦇😃New research shows that noctule bats harness warm tailwinds to save energy during their migratory journeys mpg.de/23893833/1216-ornr-ba… @MPI_animalbehav @CBehav @EdwardHurme @dechmannlab

The non-model organism “renaissance” has arrived
Meet 10 neuroscientists bringing model diversity back. @einatcouzin @CBehav @UniKonstanz @maxplanckpress #locust thetransmitter.org/animal-mo…
Curious about the details? Watch this video for a closer look at how microrobots solve the 'lazy agent' problem: youtube.com/watch?v=S_QVI1ww…
How can a team optimally mobilize its forces? A new study led by Veit-Lorenz Heuthe and Clemens Bechinger @UniKonstanz offers a clever solution - demonstrated with a swarm of microrobots! exc.uni-konstanz.de/collecti…

Scientistshave developed an #AI-based control strategy that enables individual laser-driven #microrobots within a swarm to cooperate, like ants or termites, to manipulate objects. @UniKonstanz @CBehav

Happy to have hosted professor Florian Engert from the @EngertLab here at the @UniKonstanz who shared his exciting work on analyzing heart rate and attention in #zebrafishlarvae to gain new insights into decision-making behavior.
We are excited to welcome Florian Engert from Harvard University to today's @CBehav Seminar Series, where he will discuss "The heart and the mind: an integrative approach to brain-body interactions in the zebrafish" exc.uni-konstanz.de/collecti… @UniKonstanz @MPI_animalbehav @EngertLab

Thanks! Excited to celebrate photography thanks to the @RSocPublishing photo competition! And congrats to @AugustPala with whom I’m glad to share the award and part of a dream team with @icouzin @po7ooo and Luke Costello at @MPI_animalbehav and @CBehav! 🦈
What a fantastic shot! An aerial view of #sharks rounding up their prey has won the 2024 #Photography Competition @royalsociety! 🦈The photo was taken by postdoc @albi_angela, @MPI_animalbehav, who studies the predator-prey interactions of sharks and schools of #fish. 🥳
ALT A bird’s-eye view of four sharks and their schooling prey has been announced as the winner of the Royal Society Publishing Photography Competition 2024.

I am delighted and honored to have been awarded the Fyssen International Prize!
Sharing it with Jean-Louis Deneubourg makes it all the more special as he was instrumental to inspiring me to study collectives when I was a student. @CBehav @maxplanckpress
