These can be in the form of vocalizations. Movements are also seen often within species. Overall, animals attempting to seek mates flaunt aspects such as beauty, strength, or certain abilities. One of the most renowned examples of this is the peacock. The male opens up its tail feathers to attract the peafowl, female peacock. The peafowl does not have the same feathers as it does not have to impress the male.]]> 2018-04-18 14:40:14 UTC https://padlet.com/chi_178206/md7i8tqqavuy/wish/253023862 chi_178206 https://padlet.com/chi_178206/md7i8tqqavuy/wish/253027083 Courtships displays increases the fitness of specific animals. They use this as a tool to attract mates in order to reproduce. The animal with greater and more impressive displays will be able to produce more offspring than the others. While these animals are usually male, there are mutual displays as well as female. Their specific distinguishing trademark aids in sexual selection which results in survival of the species. Those who are not able to attract mates face lower survival and reproduction rates due to natural selection.]]> 2018-04-18 14:45:59 UTC https://padlet.com/chi_178206/md7i8tqqavuy/wish/253027083 chi_178206 https://padlet.com/chi_178206/md7i8tqqavuy/wish/253031587 As a whole, the benefits of social behavior are vital for the survival of a certain species. The combination of cooperation and competition is what I believe makes up social behaviors in general. The animals who mate cooperate to produce offspring. However, competition is also present when a plethora of animals tries to impress an same animal of the other sex. To put it into perspective, us humans show the same social behaviors for survival. ]]> 2018-04-18 14:54:11 UTC https://padlet.com/chi_178206/md7i8tqqavuy/wish/253031587 chi_178206 https://padlet.com/chi_178206/md7i8tqqavuy/wish/253031926 N.a (5 Sept. 2017.)Pdfs.semanticscholar.org.
