| Sumario: | Active matter refers to systems composed of elements that are self-propelled by the dissipation of energy, in which dynamical patterns emerge, as is the case of flocks of birds and schools of fish. Some researchers in active matter physics seek to identify unified descriptions of such collective motions through interdisciplinary approaches by biologists and physicists. Through such collaborations, experimental studies pertaining to active matter physics have been developing recently, which allow us to verify the proposed mathematical models. Here, we review collective pattern formations and behaviors of animals from the perspective of active matter physics. |
