On the Move: How and Why Animals Travel in Groups
Manufacturer: University Of Chicago Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback ASIN: 0226063402 |
Amazon.com
Chimpanzees, the human species' closest living relatives, spend their lives in serial relationships: they feed, sleep, mate, and socialize in groups whose members constantly change. Given this complex and fluid social environment, how do chimps coordinate their movements to travel as a group to, say, another feeding spot?The question of how animals organize their group movements has long puzzled observers; even today, the mechanics of how monarch butterflies and arctic terns move from place to place are matters of considerable conjecture. In On the Move, 30 leading scholars examine that question and its implications for the study of animal communication, cognition, and memory. Some argue that carnivores and nonhuman primates lack mental representations and "game plans" for movement, relying instead on "rules of thumb" to gather information about the ground before them. Other scholars maintain that phenomena like the echolocation of dolphins and whales and the long-distance, movement-coordinating signals of elephants suggest a complex knowledge of local environments.
What is certain, the contributors seem to agree, is that "group movement is as much a social behavior as it is an ecological response to the distribution and availability of resources and risks," and therefore worthy of continued study. --Gregory McNamee
