Animal interactions and the emergence of territoriality by Giuggioli, Luca, Potts, Jonathan R, Harris, Stephen

“…Inferring the role of interactions in territorial animals relies upon accurate recordings of the behaviour of neighbouring individuals. Such accurate…”

Beyond resource selection: emergent spatio–temporal distributions from animal movements and stigmergent interactions by Potts, Jonathan R., Giunta, Valeria, Lewis, Mark A.

“…A principal concern of ecological research is to unveil the causes behind observed spatio–temporal distributions of species. A key tactic is to correlate…”

Variations in non-local interaction range lead to emergent chase-and-run in heterogeneous populations by Painter, Kevin J, Giunta, Valeria, Potts, Jonathan R, Bernardi, Sara

“…In a chase-and-run dynamic, the interaction between two individuals is such that one moves towards the other (the chaser), while the other moves away (the…”
