#Swarm science just got a shake-up! 🦗🦗🦗For decades, #locusts were thought to move like particles but new research indicates they actually use sensory & cognitive mechanisms, not simple alignment @icouzin.bsky.social @mpi-animalbehav.bsky.social @sercansayin.bsky.social

1/✨ New paper in #eNeuro! We looked at how dominance behaviors vary across mouse strains—turns out, it’s not one-size-fits-all! Comparing CD1 & C57 male mice, we found strain-specific dominance behaviors that could change how we study social hierarchy in the lab…🧵 Paper here: tinyurl.com/bdeuf6s9
