Personal Statment

Social behavior is really cool, because the communication part of social behaviors has changing, as more and more technology is built. A long time ago the only way people could communicate with each other was through mouth, or letters, and now a days people communicate to each other through social media, email, text, the phone, ect. All of the new inventions have made it so that humans can communicate with each other way faster, which is a huge benefit. The social behavior of other species haven't been changing as much as it has been for humans.

Adaptation

Social behavior doesn't change often as phenotype changes, because there aren't many that species can reproduce.

Social Behavior

Social Behavior is behavior among two or more organisms, typically from the same species. There are five different types of social behavior, swarming, murmuration, communication, and altruism.
Examples of social behaviors for humans is how people act at a party, or how we communicate with one another, but it is a bit different for other animals, like elephants. Male elephants are divided up against their age, size, and strength. The strongest and biggest male elephant is mostly the leader of their tribe, when for humans it is mostly the smartest and most liked people who lead.

Characteristics

-Social behavior covers sexual reproduction and mating. Most sexual reproduction is natural, but there are times when humans have decided which organisms mate together, so that their children will have a desired trait.
- Who the leaders are (most of the time it is the most strong or the smartest member).

Murmuration

Murmuration is a form or group behavior in which thousands of starling flock together as shape-shifting clouds. This is most common in birds, the overall picture is jaw dropping

Swarm

When an animal swarms it is a large group of dense animals such as insects or birds. For examples zebras often swarm to scare off predators, like lions, because it makes them look like there are a lot of them when really there isn't.

Communication

Communication is the sharing or exchange of information that is critical to the survival of individual groups. For example humans communicate with each other thought multiple types of languages and ways, such as nodding our head or even holding the door.

Altruism

Altruism is a kind of behavior in which an animal reduces its own fitness to help other members of its social group. An example of altruism is how vampire bats will feed the blood that collected from pray to the malnourished.
