Living in mixed species groups promotes predator learning in degraded habitats [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2021 Living in mix-species aggregations provides animals with substantive anti-predator, foraging and locomotory advantages while simultaneously exposing them to costs, including increased competition and pathogen exposure.

Cohesion, order and information flow in the collective motion of mixed-species shoals [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2018 Despite the frequency with which mixed-species groups are observed in nature, studies of collective behaviour typically focus on single-species groups.

Seasonal patterns of mixed species groups in large East African mammals. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 Mixed mammal species groups are common in East African savannah ecosystems. Yet, it is largely unknown if co-occurrences of large mammals result from random processes or social preferences and if interspecific associations are consistent across ...

Anthropogenic disturbance and mixed-species groups
Frontiers in Ecology and EvolutionMixed-species groups (MSGs) are composed of individuals of two or more species with such close associations that they can be regarded as members of the same social group.

Refining the stress gradient hypothesis for mixed species groups of African mammals
Scientific Reports, 2022 Species interactions such as facilitation and predation influence food webs, yet it is unclear how they are mediated by environmental gradients. Here we test the stress gradient hypothesis which predicts that positive species interactions increase with ...

Scientific Reports, 2023 Numerous species have been reported to form mixed-species groups, however, little is known about the interplay between niche partitioning and mixed-species group formation.

Improper Primate Release Fuels Interspecific Mating: Cases of Two Mixed‐Species Groups in Bangladesh
Ecology and EvolutionWildlife trafficking has escalated in recent years, leading to a rise in animal rescues every year. In Bangladesh, increasing numbers of primates are being rescued from illegal trades and private collections.

Modeling vigilance in mixed‐species groups [PDF]
Natural Resource Modeling, 2022 AbstractMixed‐species groups are usually explained by foraging advantages and reduced predation risk for at least one of the participating species. Given that animals trade‐off foraging and vigilance, the optimal level of vigilance of individuals in mixed‐species groups depends partly on the vigilance levels of both conspecifics and heterospecifics ...

Temporal avoidance as a means of reducing competition between sympatric species
Royal Society Open Science, 2023 Human activity has modified the availability of natural resources and the abundance of species that rely on them, potentially changing interspecific competition dynamics.

Avian Research, 2023 In mutualistic interactions, all parties are usually considered to benefit; yet there may be asymmetries in mutualisms where some partners/individuals benefit more than others.
