Swarmlike collective behavior in bicycling

Nature is full of examples of large-scale collective behavior; humans also exhibit this behavior, most notably in pelotons, the mass of riders in bicycle races. Using aerial video footage of bicycle races, researchers analyzed peloton motion to determine what causes changes in the group's large-scale collective behavior and found that riders move through the peloton in a manner similar to circulation in a fluid. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181119064153.htm

Reducing the impact forces of water entry

As professional divers complete what's known as a rip dive, their hands remove water in front of the body, creating a cavity that reduces the initial impact force. The rest of the body is aligned to shoot through the same cavity created by the hands. Using the hands to create cavities in the water's surface is similar to the concept behind the fluid-structure studies that researchers are conducting using spheres. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181120125955.htm

Where you go tells who you are -- and vice versa

They found three distinct groups whose demographics they could infer based on their travel patterns: seniors, who travel to a wider variety of places in a day; workers, who stay mostly at work or at home; parents, who visit more individual places in a day. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181119155935.htm

How female hyaenas came to dominate males

In most animal societies, members of one sex dominate those of the other. Is this, as widely believed, an inevitable consequence of a disparity in strength and ferocity between males and females? Not necessarily. A new study on wild spotted hyaenas shows that in this social carnivore, females dominate males because they can rely on greater social support than males, not because they are stronger or more competitive in any other individual attribute. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181120073651.htm

Dogs know when they don't know

Researchers have shown that dogs possess some 'metacognitive' abilities -- specifically, they are aware of when they do not have enough information to solve a problem and will actively seek more information. The researchers created a test in which dogs had to find a reward behind one of two fences. They found that the dogs looked for additional information significantly more often when they had not seen where the reward was hidden. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2018/11/181120125745.htm
