SUMMARY:A Visual Introduction to Collective Animal Behavior - Iain Couzin 
 (Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior)

DESCRIPTION:Collective organization is everywhere\, both around us and wit
 hin us. In the brain\, millions of interconnected cells produce coordinate
 d action\, and thought\, through chemical and electrical signals. Hundreds
  of thousands of blind army ants coordinate a massive raid across the rain
 forest floor. A fish school convulses\, as if it is a single entity\, when
  attacked by a predator. How can animal groups move in unison? Do they fun
 ction as a &ldquo\;collective mind&rdquo\;? From locust swarms to bird flo
 cks\, from cells to human societies\, I will discuss how\, and why\, indiv
 idual behavior produces collective behavior in nature.
