1/ I am excited to introduce my PhD work with tatsuo, Greg Stephens, and Joshua Shaevitz, on the 3D tracking and analysis of pairwise zebrafish fights! How do zebrafish interact socially to establish dominance? Check out the preprint! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Thread below!

The social behavior of adult zebrafish is fascinating (as is social behavior in general!), yet also a challenge for high-resolution tracking and analysis. See Liam's thread for a great summary of our first zebrafish work on the dynamics of dominance contests.

Why are power laws and heavy-tailed distributions so widespread in animal behavior? We show how behavioral plasticity might be the minimal necessary ingredient w/ M Vergassola @LP_ENS_, Gautam Sridhar Wyart Lab Claire Wyart rb.gy/184fke (thread below) 1/12

A new 3D tracking system captured the movements of two male #ZebraFish as they fought for dominance, showing how the fish chased each other through a tank using “attack” and “circle” maneuvers until a winner and loser emerged. 🐟 Read the paper: go.aps.org/3BUYY3U

Delighted to see the main paper from my Phd, our work on the Dynamics of Dominance in 3D #ZebraFish fights, published today in PRX Life! Also check out the great Physics Magazine Focus story from Philip Ball physics.aps.org/articles/v17/1…

Excited to see this fantastic study in print. The Physics of Zebrafish fighting in gory detail. In time for Halloween. journals.aps.org/prxlife/abstra… Greg Stephens

🐟 Researchers created a 3D tracking system to capture male #zebrafish movements during dominance battles. They observed unique behaviors: losers often ramp up attacks at the end, while winners more often face their opponents. Read the paper in PRX Life:

(1/4) I’m happy to introduce our new work led by phd student Akira Kawano (not on X), which explores social behavior as mutual prediction, quantified by the decomposition of information (PID) between the past and future of a multi-organism system: doi.org/10.1101/2025.0…
