Many species have evolved strategies of collective behaviour - where groups work together 'as one', and are capable of more than the sum of their parts. From social insects to flocking behaviour, meerkats to migrations, we'll explore the genetics underlying these feats.

Speakers

Nigel Franks, Professor of Animal Behaviour and Ecology, University of Bristol
Sarah Hodge, mongoose and meerkat researcher, University of Exeter
Seirian Sumner, social insect researcher, Zoological Society of London

Facilitator: Sue Broom, science journalist and broadcaster, BBC
