What advantages do robots offer in researching the behavioural rules of animal groups? How is robotics research inspired by nature? Three robotics researchers from the Cluster of Excellence "Collective Behaviour" (CASCB) at the University of Konstanz provide insights.

All storks choose to migrate with conspecifics, but young storks rely more on social influences than adults do

ERC Advanced Grant of 2.5 million euros for Clemens Bechinger from the Department of Physics at the University of Konstanz – this is the second time the Konstanz physicist receives the prestigious research award.

Can stress be transmitted across individuals? How about other physiological states? Researchers from the Cluster of Excellence Collective Behaviour investigated this question for humans and animals.

Research from the Cluster of Excellence Collective Behaviour (CASCB) at the University of Konstanz and the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior (MPI-AB) shows that migrating storks refine their behaviour as they get older, suggesting that experiential learning is an important part of successful migration. While genetics and social behaviour are important factors shaping animal migrations, information learned within a lifetime also appears to guide migratory movements. The findings appear…
