About this document

Social Structures in Animal Groups by Oon Vincent is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Social animals live in complex social groups and exhibit distinct social behaviors and organization. They live in permanent groups that can include families, have social hierarchies and territorial behaviors. Extremely social insects and some mammals like naked mole rats live in eusocial societies with specialized roles. Animal social behavior is studied in fields like psychology, ethology and sociobiology to understand factors like group size, territoriality, social learning and whether they have culture.
