Behavioural synchrony among individuals is essential for group-living organisms to maintain their cohesiveness necessary to get information and against predation. It is still largely unknown how synchronization functions in a multilevel society, a nested assemblage of multiple social levels between many individuals.…

'Johann Mourier'] Behavioural synchrony among individuals is essential for group-living organisms. The functioning of synchronization in a multilevel society, which is a nested assemblage of multiple social levels between many individuals, remains largely unknown. The aim of the present study was to build a model that…

Behavioural synchronization is widespread among living beings, including humans. Pairs of humans synchronize their behaviour in various situations, such as walking together. Affiliation between dyadic partners is known to promote behavioral synchronization. Surprisingly, however, interspecific synchronization has…

'Mónica Teresa González-Ramírez'] Simple Summary Behavioural synchronization is a widespread skill in social species as it helps increase group cohesion. It is highly studied among humans, but should be investigated from an interspecific perspective to better understand the influence of both phylogeny and ontogeny in…

Background Animals living in social groups can benefit from conducting the same behaviour as other group members. If this synchronisation is achieved by copying the behaviour of other individuals, we would expect synchrony to be more likely when pairs of individuals are close together. Results By comparing the…

Synchronisation is widespread in animals, and studies have often emphasised how this seemingly complex phenomenon can emerge from very simple rules. However, the amount of flexibility and control that animals might have over synchronisation properties, such as the strength of coupling, remains underexplored. Here, we…

'Andrew A. Rouse' 'Sonja A. Kotz'] In this perspective paper, we focus on the study of synchronization abilities across the animal kingdom. We propose an ecological approach to studying nonhuman animal synchronization that begins from observations about when, how and why an animal might synchronize spontaneously with…

People synchronize their behavioural and physiological rhythms with each other during social interaction. While interpersonal synchronization has largely been associated with positive effects such as social bonding, some evidence suggests that it may also impair self-regulation and disrupt intrapersonal coordination.…

Human social behaviour is complex, and the biological and neural mechanisms underpinning it remain debated^1,2^. A particularly interesting social phenomenon is our ability and tendency to fall into synchrony with other humans^3,4^. Our ability to coordinate actions and goals relies on the ability to distinguish…

People synchronize their periodic behavioural and physiological rhythms with each other during social interaction. While this interpersonal synchronization has largely been associated with positive effects such as social bonding, some evidence suggests that it may also impair self-regulation and disrupt intrapersonal…

Dynamical networks are important models for the behaviour of complex systems, modelling physical, biological and societal systems, including the brain, food webs, epidemic disease in populations, power grids and many other. Such dynamical networks can exhibit behaviour in which deterministic chaos, exhibiting…

Pulse-coupled oscillator models inspired by firefly synchronization are widely used to study decentralized time coordination in distributed systems. We analyze a discrete-time, discrete-phase firefly-inspired synchronization model and show that collective synchrony emerges only near a critical balance between the…

Recent accounts of social cognition focus on how we do things together, suggesting that becoming aligned relies on a reciprocal exchange of information. The next step is to develop richer computational methods that quantify the degree of coupling and describe the nature of the information exchange. We put forward a…

In this paper we consider a heterogeneous network of Haken-Kelso-Bunz (HKB) nonlinear oscillators coupled through both linear and nonlinear interaction protocols. While some work exists on a system made up of only two nonlinearly coupled HKB oscillators as a model of human dynamics during interpersonal coordination…

'Marie-Hélène Pillot' 'Jacques Gautrais'] Monitoring small groups of sheep in spontaneous evolution in the field, we decipher behavioural rules that sheep follow at the individual scale in order to sustain collective motion. Individuals alternate grazing mode at null speed and moving mode at walking speed, so cohesive…

In this fluid dynamics video, we examine whether low Reynolds number swimmers such as Caenorhabditis (C.) elegans synchronize their gait when they are swimming in close proximity. The experimental apparatus consists of a tapered conduit. Two animals are introduced into the conduit, one after the other. The conduit is…

The study of synchronization of coupled systems is currently undergoing a major surge fueled by recent discoveries of new forms of collective dynamics and the development of techniques to characterize a myriad of new patterns of network synchronization. This includes chimera states, phenomena determined by symmetry…

We analyze the emergence of synchronization in a population of moving integrate-and-fire oscillators. Oscillators, while moving on a plane, interact with their nearest neighbor upon firing time. We discover a non-monotonic dependence of the synchronization time on the velocity of the agents. Moreover, we find that…

Molecules in gas and liquid states, as well as in solution, exhibit significant and random Brownian motion. Molecules in the solid-state, although strongly immobilized, can still exhibit significant intramolecular dynamics. However, in most framework materials, these intramolecular dynamics are driven by temperature…
