The SMART-BARN (scalable multimodal arena for real-time tracking behavior of animals in
large numbers) achieves fast, robust acquisition of movement, behavior, communication …

Modelling animal behavior using active-particle models is a major current challenge. The
unique properties of animals mean that such models require the use of new types of …

We present a general theoretical model for the spatio-temporal dynamics of animal contests.
Inspired by interactions between physical particles, the model is formulated in terms of …

Coarse-grained descriptions of collective motion of flocking systems are often derived for the
macroscopic or the thermodynamic limit. However, the size of many real flocks falls …

Animals moving together in groups are believed to interact among each other with effective
social forces, such as attraction, repulsion, and alignment. Such forces can be inferred using …

This thesis studies competition between three endemic Australian fruit fly species,
Bactrocera tryoni, B. neohumeralis and B. jarvisi, all which are considered to have pest …

Active particle systems of interacting self-propelled particles offer a versatile framework for
modeling complex systems. When employed to describe aspects of animal behavior, the …

The study of animal behavior in naturalistic environments is essential to understand how
individuals acquire and process sensory information and use this to make ecologically …

Active particle systems of interacting self-propelled particles offer a versatile framework for
modeling complex systems. When employed to describe aspects of animal behavior, the …
