Emergent Spatiotemporal Patterns in Insect Swarms

Explore emergent spatiotemporal patterns in insect swarms through this recorded lecture presented by Orit Peleg from the University of Colorado Boulder at IPAM's Modeling Multi-Scale Collective Intelligences Workshop. Delve into the fascinating world of collective behavior as Peleg examines how insects coordinate their movements and create complex patterns through their swarm dynamics. During this 49-minute presentation, discover the mathematical and physical principles underlying swarm behavior, and understand how these patterns emerge from individual interactions among insects. Learn about cutting-edge research that bridges biology, physics, and applied mathematics to decode the sophisticated organizational patterns observed in natural swarm systems.
