Fish in schooling formations navigate complex flow fields replete with mechanical energy in
the vortex wakes of their companions. Their schooling behavior has been associated with …

Translocation is used as a conservation action on a large panel of species, but efficiency of
such a measure is still under investigation. This study reviews and synthesizes the existing …

Social organisation in animals takes many forms. It includes assemblages of territorial
animals, dominance hierarchies and social groups, among other things. The basic tenet that …

Energy saving mechanisms are ubiquitous in nature. Aerodynamic and hydrodynamic
drafting, vortice uplift, Bernoulli suction, thermoregulatory coupling, path following, physical …

How can the stunning diversity of social systems and behaviours seen in nature be
explained? Drawing on social evolution theory, experimental evidence and studies …

Since inferring spawning areas from larval distributions in the Sargasso Sea a century ago,
the oceanic migration of adult American eels has remained a mystery. No adult eel has ever …

Anguillid eels are near globally distributed catadromous fishes with marine spawning areas
and inshore and inland growth areas in both lotic (rivers, estuaries) and lentic (lakes, ponds …

Fish schools can make frequent accelerations that are almost simultaneous. While schooling
at constant speed is well studied, far less is known concerning accelerating fish school …

Fish schooling is a common phenomenon that is assumed to have energy advantages, and
various fish schooling configurations have been observed. However, the underlying …

Abstract Eel Management Plans demand European silver eel (Anguilla anguilla)
escapement to the sea of at least 40% of that expected historically in the absence of human …
