We explore the ecology of collective behavior in dynamic & changing ecosystems.

The Collective Ecology Group is led by Dr. William Oestreich at the University of Zurich (UZH). We take a transdisciplinary approach to understanding how biophysical ecosystem variation & information interact to shape organisms' individual, social, and collective behavior. In turn, we interrogate how social & collective behavior can allow humans to more effectively & equitably understand, steward, & adapt to the changing biophysical systems of which we are all a part.
