Illustration of Fish Orientation (IMAGE)
Caption
(a) Illustration of an agent (depicted here as a fish) at a random orientation at the first time step (= 0, blue) and transitioning to startled state (= 1, red). When startled directly from a threat, agents react by instantaneously reorienting towards a reference direction, with some noise (2). Without loss of generality, the reference direction is set at zero degrees. (b) Illustration of two agents. When startled indirectly by social cues, agents move in the average direction of their startled neighbors. In this illustration, only the difference in orientation between two agents is shown, along with noise (1) that is added to the difference in orientation, which represents the noise in the agent's ability to sense their neighbor's orientation.
