Emergent social structure and collective behaviour from individual decision-making in wild birds
- Abstract:
-
Social behaviour is shaped by complex relationships between evolutionary and ecological processes interacting at different scales. Benefits gained from social associations can range from predator dilution to collective sensing, but little is known about how these can be influenced by social structure and phenotypic composition.
