| Swarm intelligence: New collective properties of swarm dynamics uncovered Posted: 15 Mar 2013 06:59 AM PDT A new study of animal swarms uncovers some new features of their collective behavior when overcrowding sets in. Swarming is the spontaneous organized motion of a large number of individuals. It is observed at all scales, from bacterial colonies, slime molds and groups of insects to shoals of fish, flocks of birds and animal herds.
