  • Group conformity is crucial for collective behaviours, but may decrease overall responsiveness to external cues. Here the authors show that load-carrying ant groups function at a transition between ballistic and random motions, where the influence of informed individuals is maximized.

  • Widely used behavioral assays need re-evaluation and validation against their intended use. We focus here on measures of chronic anxiety in mouse models and posit that widely used assays such as the open-field test are performed at the wrong time, for inadequate durations and using inappropriate mouse strains. We propose that behavioral assays be screened for usefulness on the basis of their replicability across laboratories.
