Ariana Strandburg-Peshkin

Dr. Ariana Strandburg-Peshkin serves as a Research Group Leader jointly affiliated with the Department for the Ecology of Animal Societies at the Max Planck Institute of Animal Behavior and the Biology Department at the University of Konstanz. She leads the Communication & Collective Movement Group (CoCoMo), employing interdisciplinary methodologies to investigate collective behavior in social animal systems.

Her research examines how social animals coordinate collective decisions and actions through communication strategies and social relationships. Key research domains include:

• Collective Behavior
• Animal Behavior
• Social Networks
• Communication
• Decision Making
• Movement Ecology

Her approach integrates high-resolution wildlife tracking, field biology, and novel analytical frameworks to decode emergent group patterns from individual behaviors.

Dr. Strandburg-Peshkin maintains extensive international collaborations with researchers and long-term field studies across multiple species. While specific student advising details and grant mechanisms were not documented in source materials, her work exemplifies comparative, collaborative science addressing fundamental questions in behavioral ecology.

The Communication & Collective Movement Group operates under her direction, with additional resources available at www.cocomo.group.
