Description

Antoine Cribellier leads a team on swarming in malaria mosquitoes. Their study from twenty twenty-six uses three D flight tracks. Mating swarms look complex, as if rich rules drove them.

Tracks came from two past lab data sets on one species. Bugs flew under fake sunset over a visual mark. Each bug swapped straight flight with fast turns called saccades. Turns fired at the swarm edge and leaned toward sunset. Lone bugs did much the same, the team found. A plain agent model with three rules copies the swarm. Small to mid size swarms were the focus.
