Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
• Collective behavior is observed across diverse biological systems, from cellular dynamics to animal ecology. Studying collective behavior enhances our understanding of natural phenomena and facilitates the development of practical applications. • Network science provides powerful tools for analyzing the structural properties of complex systems and investigating the intricate interplay between network topology and collective behavior. Understanding this structure-dynamics relationship is essential for uncovering the mechanisms driving coordinated phenomena in animal ecology and cell biology. • Information transmission among individuals is pivotal in shaping collective behavior across microscopic, animal, and robotic systems, and is essential for understanding collective motion. • Decision-making is a fundamental process for animals that move in groups. Social interactions critically shape these decisions, providing insights into group foraging, migration, and navigation strategies.
