"Collective pattern formations of animals in active matter physics"
【Significance】
People, both non-scientists and scientists, are fascinated with collective pattern formations such as in flocks of birds and schools of fish. The research field to understand the mechanisms underlying such pattern formations is known as active matter physics. At the beginning of active matter research, these mechanisms have mainly been studied in the theoretical aspects. Then, experimental studies have recently been achieved along with methodological developments such as molecular biology and fluorescent imaging. Here, we introduce these experimental systems of active matter physics, focusing on animal collectives.
