The study of animal movement has always been a key element in ecological science,
because it is inherently linked to critical processes that scale from individuals to populations …

We briefly review hyperbolic and kinetic models for self-organized biological aggregations
and traffic-like movement. We begin with the simplest models described by an advection …

The employment of nonlocal PDE models to describe biological aggregation and other
phenomena has gained considerable traction in recent years. For cell populations, these …

SI can be seen also as part of the broader field of computational intelligence (CI)(Keller et al.
2016), which comprises computational methods for problems not solvable by the first …

We review the state-of-the-art in the modelling of the aggregation and collective behavior of
interacting agents of similar size and body type, typically called swarming. Starting with …

Although the spatial dimension of ecosystem dynamics is now widely recognized, the
specific mechanisms behind species patterning in space are still poorly understood and the …

These notes are devoted to a summary on the mean-field limit of large ensembles of
interacting particles with applications in swarming models. We first make a summary of the …

We present existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence results for some kinetic
equations motivated by models for the collective behavior of large groups of individuals …

We apply tools from topological data analysis to two mathematical models inspired by
biological aggregations such as bird flocks, fish schools, and insect swarms. Our data …

Locusts exhibit two interconvertible behavioral phases, solitarious and gregarious. While
solitarious individuals are repelled from other locusts, gregarious insects are attracted to …
