Produktbeschreibung

Self-organisation of social behaviour is a widespread phenomenon in animals and humans. It is observed in numerous aspects of social behaviour, such as group formation, task-division, dominance interactions and voting. This book contains studies of social behaviour ranging from single-celled organisms to humans, and shows recent progress in these fields.
