Social behavior consists of multiple interactions among individuals of the same species.

# data[].attributes.body
All species and individuals perform social behaviors but they aren't all the same. Some social behaviors include cooperation, where animals live and work together for the benefit of a group, aggression, a behavior intending to cause harm to another for survival purposes, interspecific competition, the relationship between different species striving for the same resources and

intraspecific competition, where the individuals of the same species strive for the same resources.

Social behavior is influenced by organisms in a species. It is also affected by the environment and the other populations  surrounding them. In order to survive and reproduce, species contribute social behaviors. Social behaviors include cooperation, communication, and/or competition.

Adaptation can never be perfect in a population due to  mutation, drift, inbreeding, selection and gene flow. Social behavior can be affected by indirect and direct causes for every individual, but through genetics, many species understand the actions of the others around them, make moral judgements and have certain emotions in certain situations. Animals can adapt in three different ways, disperse, adjust through phenotypic plasticity, or adapt through genetic changes. Although environments are naturally changing all the time, humans have a big impact on the habitats of species. These animals have to adapt to their new environment after humans have altered it. For example, birds might have to change their vocal signals in noisy environments.

Social behaviors are very important attributes to organisms and species. They affect all organisms individually which affects a population. I can conclude that these behaviors are needed in all and any population of organisms in order to keep the species alive throughout generations. Just like us humans, animals behaviors are based off of experiences.

Dominant behavior is a relationship between individuals that is established through force and aggression in order to establish priority access to all desired resources in a population.

Animal social behaviour: Animal social behaviour, the suite of interactions that occur between two or more individual animals, usually of the same species, when they form simple aggregations, cooperate in sexual or parental behaviour, engage in disputes over territory and access to mates, or simply communicate across
