SUNY Potsdam professor publishes an article in peer-reviewed journal PLOS-ONE

Posted

SUNY Potsdam Professor William Romey of the biology department recently published an article in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS-ONE this month.

The article was written in collaboration with graduating student Alicia Lamb

The article is titled "Flash expansion threshold in whirligig swarms."

Their research demonstrates that it only takes a few knowledgeable individuals in a group to react to a predator to get a whole group moving.

Lamb worked with Romey as part of an NSF-grant last summer and is now starting a Ph.D. program at SUNY Stony Brook to study lemurs in Madagascar.
