Tropical range extending herbivorous fishes gain foraging benefits by shoaling with native temperate species [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Tropicalization creates novel species assemblages in temperate ecosystems as range-extending species move. The sociality of range-extending species could facilitate their establishment, particularly if they associate with natives.

Factors Affecting Group Spread within Wild Mixed-Species Troops of Saddleback and Mustached Tamarins [PDF]

International Journal of Primatology, 2005
We examined group spread and interindividual spacing within wild mixed species troops of saddleback (Saguinus fuscicollis) and mustached (Saguinus mystax) tamarins. Mustached tamarin groups were spread over larger areas than those of saddleback tamarins.

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.

Aviary measurements of dominance and affiliation between members of mixed-species birds flocks in southern China

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.

Multiple social benefits drive the formation of mixed-species groups of Australian humpback and Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins

Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 2023
Mixed-species groups are common amongst diverse taxa including fishes, birds, and mammals. Antipredator, foraging, and social benefits have been proposed as functional explanations for mixed-species group formation.

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.

Two’s company, three species is a crowd? A webcam-based study of the behavioural effects of mixed-species groupings in the wild and in the zoo

PLoS ONE, 2023
Mixed species exhibits in zoos are used to create larger, more stimulating environments to support naturalistic interactions between species. In the wild, mixed species groups are observed as having lower rates of vigilance, presumably due to reduced ...

Seasonal changes in mixed‐species bird flocks and antipredator information

Ecology and Evolution, 2020
Animals acquire information produced by other species to reduce uncertainty and avoid predators. Mixed‐species flocks (MSFs) of birds are ubiquitous in forest ecosystems and structured, in part, around interspecific information transfer, with “nuclear ...
