DESCRIPTION:Our research group (www.SHOALgroup.org) takes a curiosity-driv
 en approach to understanding animal behaviour across species and contexts.
  In this seminar\, I will begin by showcasing examples of our fundamental 
 blue skies research\, highlighting insights gained from studying a range o
 f animal species. I will then demonstrate how this foundational work infor
 ms\, and advances applied themes\, including animal management strategies 
 and the development of bio-inspired engineering solutions. To end\, I wil
 l outline some of our latest comparative research that I am really excited
  about\, which aims to investigate the origins and evolution of collective
  movement in vertebrates.\n\nBio Sketch: Andrew King is a Professor of Ani
 mal Behaviour at Swansea University. He has previously worked at The Zoolo
 gical Society of London\, University College London\, The Royal Veterinary
  College\, and the University of Cambridge\, and has held visiting positio
 ns in Germany and South Africa. His research group (www.SHOALgroup.org) st
 udy animal behaviour and ecology in a range of animal systems. His researc
 h has strong applied themes\, and he works across disciplines and sectors
