We are ecologists interested in understanding patterns of animal distribution and abundance. While most of the members of the lab work on amphibians, some of us do not. For all of us, the base motivation for our work lies in conceptual issues, but we are all field biologists. By combining theoretical and empirical approaches, we seek to develop and then evaluate ways of understanding and predicting natural patterns. |

The SWARMS Group Behavior Database is a curated resource
presenting the latest findings from biologists studying group
behaviors in living organisms. The database was created as part
of the collaborative SWARMS project, to provide a guided source
for papers useful to engineers, applied mathematicians,
robotocists and others interested in using the biological literature
to create artificial networks.
