The benefits of flocking are safety from predators and increased foraging efficiency.]]> 2017-05-20 04:51:14 UTC https://padlet.com/raeheat01/4odjpuyvy691/wish/172902708 raeheat01 https://padlet.com/raeheat01/4odjpuyvy691/wish/172902729 Group of land animals of one species that feed, rest or travel together.

One thing that definitely benefits a species when they are in swarm behavior is it makes it easier to find food. Another adaptation that is made easier by swarm behavior is protection from predators. Lastly, environmental change will be made easier to adapt to when in a social behavior. ]]> 2017-05-21 03:10:47 UTC https://padlet.com/raeheat01/4odjpuyvy691/wish/172953117 raeheat01 https://padlet.com/raeheat01/4odjpuyvy691/wish/172954533 Personally I believe that social behavior in species is important. Not only does it greatly benefit adaptation characteristics, but it gives a impact in survival overall. Being in groups such as herd and swarms give animals a goal or reason to live in a way. If an animal is all alone most the time it will die and die alone. Sand hill cranes for example travel in packs. They cannot survive on their own. When a sand hill crane's mate dies the partner that is still living will not last long after that. This is because they survive off of each other just as any other organism would that is accustom to the swarm behavior. It is a very interesting and beneficial topic. ]]> 2017-05-21 04:02:30 UTC https://padlet.com/raeheat01/4odjpuyvy691/wish/172954533 raeheat01 https://padlet.com/raeheat01/4odjpuyvy691/wish/172954880 http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2007/07/swarms/miller-text
