Example of collective self-optimisation (a): Pattern for social temperature regulation among Emperor penguins, which act as sources of heat (red) and at the same time move toward their ideal temperature (green arrow). (b) Aerial view of the balance configuration of 32 penguins (green discs) close to the collective ideal state. The black lines are isotherms, while the dark red shades represent high temperatures.
