Getting from here to there may be simple for one individual. But as
any parent, scout leader, or CEO knows, herding a whole troop in
one direction is a lot more complicated. Who leads the group? Who
decides where the group will travel, and using what information?
How do they accomplish these tasks?
"On the Move" addresses these questions, examining the social,
cognitive, and ecological processes that underlie patterns and
strategies of group travel. Chapters discuss how factors such as
group size, resource distribution and availability, the costs of
travel, predation, social cohesion, and cognitive skills affect how
individuals as well as social groups exploit their environment.
Most chapters focus on field studies of a wide range of human and
nonhuman primate groups, from squirrel monkeys to Turkana
pastoralists, but chapters covering group travel in hyenas, birds,
dolphins, and bees provide a broad taxonomic perspective and offer
new insights into comparative questions, such as whether primates
are unique in their ability to coordinate group-level activities.
