Mixed-Species Groups of Animals: Behavior, Community Structure, and
Conservation presents a comprehensive discussion on the
mixed-species groups of animals, a spectacular and accessible
example of the complexity of species interactions. They are found
in a wide range of animals, including invertebrates, fish, mammals
and birds, and in different habitats, both terrestrial and aquatic,
throughout the world. While there are more than 500 articles on
this subject scattered in separate categories of journals, there
has yet to be a general, cross-taxa book-length introduction to
this subject that summarizes the behavior and community structure
of these groups. The authors first survey the diversity of spatial
associations among animals and then concentrate on moving groups.
They review the major classes of theories that have been developed
to explain their presence, particularly in how groups increase
foraging efficiency and decrease predation. Finally, they explore
the intricacies of species interactions, such as communication,
that explain species roles in groups and discuss what implications
these social systems have for conservation.
