    Cognitive simplicity drives collective route improvements in homing pigeons

    Shoubhik Chandan Banerjee, Fritz A Francisco, Albert B Kao
    A navigational model exploring social learning strategies differing in cognitive complexity in homing pigeons shows that simple averaging sufficiently explains collective route improvements, without requiring cumulative cultural evolution.

    Collective epithelial migration mediated by the unbinding of hexatic defects

    Dimitrios Krommydas, Livio N Carenza, Luca Giomi
    Theoretical and computational analyses demonstrate that cell intercalation within epithelial cell layers is analogous to the unbinding of topological defects in hexatic liquid crystals, offering a framework for calculating cellular forces and velocities during collective migration.

    Colony demographics shape nest construction in Camponotus fellah ants

    Harikrishnan Rajendran, Roi Weinberger ... Ofer Feinerman
    The architecture of an ant nest serves as a fossilized record of the colony's demographic history, with distinct growth patterns and catastrophic events through age-specific digging behaviors.
