On #InternationalWomensDay we'd like to pause and celebrate just a small slice of the enormous contributions to science women have made here at SFI.
Read the thread below for links to some of their own favorite research papers, and a few nominated by other SFI faculty members:

Pre-print alert! ״Self-organization in natural #swarms of Photinus carolinus #synchronous #fireflies”
How many fireflies does it take to synchronize a swarm in its natural habitat? And how fast does the burst propagate throughout the swarm?

2/7 Fireflies flashing in unison is not just a mesmerizing manifestation of animal collective behavior… but also a landmark example of biological synchrony.
We recently developed a method to record the 3D spatiotemporal pattern of their flashes

3/7 To understand the synchronization mechanisms and inform theoretical models, we apply our method on the collective display of thousands of Photinus carolinus fireflies, this time, in their natural habitat!
Scout-initiated group raiding in ants is an incredibly rich collective behavior that can now be studied in the lab. Exciting new @biorxivpreprint from our lab @RockefellerUniv with @VChandra_ & @asafffgal biorxiv.org/content/10.110…. (1/8)
Scout-initiated group raids are stereotyped in the sequence of events, but there is interesting variation in the length of some phases. Lots of cool collective decision making and navigation as well. @biorxiv_evobio @biorxiv_neursci @biorxiv_ecology. biorxiv.org/content/10.110… (2/8)
Turns out that group raiding is the evolutionary precursor of army ant mass raiding, one of the most spectacular collective phenomena out there. However, we actually know very little about how collective behavior evolves mechanistically in any animal group. (3/8)
