Murmuration is a group behavior which is used to outmaneuver the predator with rapid pattern changes. Although murmuration looks like a social act, it actually isn't, in fact, the act of murmuration is their response towards a predator. Murmuration does look amusing though thanks to their dynamic patterns.]]> 2018-04-19 18:33:53 UTC https://padlet.com/kresley_145478/djsbw7rmlmet/wish/253583975 kresley_145478 https://padlet.com/kresley_145478/djsbw7rmlmet/wish/253587173 2018-04-19 18:39:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kresley_145478/djsbw7rmlmet/wish/253587173 kresley_145478 https://padlet.com/kresley_145478/djsbw7rmlmet/wish/253587687 2018-04-19 18:40:52 UTC https://padlet.com/kresley_145478/djsbw7rmlmet/wish/253587687 kresley_145478 https://padlet.com/kresley_145478/djsbw7rmlmet/wish/253588669 Murmuration has become a adaptation for starling flocks because murmuration is primarily used as a anti-predator adaptation rather than attracting larger numbers of individuals.]]> 2018-04-19 18:42:42 UTC https://padlet.com/kresley_145478/djsbw7rmlmet/wish/253588669 kresley_145478 https://padlet.com/kresley_145478/djsbw7rmlmet/wish/253594252 Goodenough AE, Little N, Carpenter WS, Hart AG (2017) Birds of a feather flock together: Insights into starling murmuration behaviour revealed using citizen science.
