Beispiel eines Fischschwarms, Diploma Thesis, Carl von Ossietzky University of Oldenburg, 1994. Umwelt Informatik, Hamburg, August 1994. ESM'95 European Simulation Multiconference, Prag, June 1995. This model was invented by C. Reynolds in 1987. This model was primary done for visualisation purposes.
Birds choose trees to find food.
Depending on their success each birds decides whether to join a flock or to stay where they are. The behavior was tested for different distributions of food in a patchy environment. Thompson et al. concluded that the value of flocking depends on the distribution pattern of food. A Simulation Model, The Journal of Animal Ecology, vol. The very complex model of storks in the Everglades in Florida tries to exmaine the breeding failure of storks in that area.
