Policing stabilizes construction of social niches in primates
All organisms interact with their environment, and in doing so shape it, modifying resource
availability. Termed niche construction, this process has been studied primarily at the …

Groups confuse predators by exploiting perceptual bottlenecks: a connectionist model of the confusion effect
DC Krakauer - Behavioral Ecology and Sociobiology, 1995 - Springer
Aggregation is a well documented behaviour in a number of animal groups. The “confusion
effect” is one mechanism thought to mitigate the success of predators feeding on gregarious …
