Collective animal behavior describes the coordinated behavior of large groups of similar animals as well as emergent properties of these groups. This can include the costs and benefits of group membership, the transfer of information across the group, the group decision-making process, and group locomotion and synchronization. Studying the principles of collective animal behavior has relevance to human engineering problems through the philosophy of biomimetics. For instance, determining the rules by which an individual animal navigates relative to its neighbors in a group can lead to advances in the deployment and control of groups of swimming or flying micro-robots such as UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles). ==Examples== Examples of collective animal behavior include: * Flocking birds * Herding ungulates * Shoaling and schooling fish * Swarming Antarctic krill * Pods of dolphins * Marching locusts * Nest building ants 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Collective animal behavior」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
