Virtual reality rewrites the rules of the swarm. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/... We find that classical models of collective behavior fail to account for collective motion. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

What a fantastic shot! An aerial view of #sharks rounding up their prey has won the 2024 #Photography Competition @royalsociety.org 🦈 The photo was taken by postdoc Angela Albi @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social, who studies the predator-prey interactions of sharks and schools of #fish. 🎉👏

What a great opportunity to combine science and photography! Glad for this award with @augustpaula.bsky.social and thanks to @icouzin.bsky.social Luke Costello,Tristan Walter at @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social and @unikonstanz.bsky.social Thanks @rsocpublishing.bsky.social for the great initiative!

Grateful for this award with @augustpaula.bsky.social for the @royalsociety.org photography competition. I recommend to look at all the photos at the link and, importantly, to take photos! 🦈 @icouzin.bsky.social @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social
