The Synchronized World of Flocking and Swarming
Explores the phenomenon of collective animal movement, examining how and why creatures like fish, birds, and insects coordinate in vast, synchronized groups. It identifies three main scientific questions—how these behaviors work, their purpose, and their evolutionary origins. Examples include starling murmurations and fish schools, which use precise coordination to confuse predators and enhance survival through mechanisms such as the dilution effect and selfish herd theory. The discussion also highlights the defensive formations of fish like bait balls and the massive migrations of monarch butterflies and locusts, showing how collective movement provides both advantages and risks in nature.
