Mixed‐species animal groups (MSGs) are widely acknowledged to increase predator
avoidance and foraging efficiency, among other benefits, and thereby increase participants' …

In pretty much any species, an individual's survival and reproduction depends crucially on
the outcome of interactions with other individuals. Key interactions may take place between …

Rivers are experiencing increasing anthropogenic pressures and salinity has shown to
affect freshwater fish behaviour, potentially disrupting ecological processes. In this study, the …

Collective behaviours in homogeneous shoals provide several benefits to conspecifics,
although mixed-species aggregations have been reported to often occur. Mixed …

Mixed-species groups of birds, fishes and mammals have traditionally been described in
taxa-specific journals. However, mixed-species systems are actually more widely found …

Coral‐reef fishes are shifting their distributions poleward in response to human‐mediated
ocean warming; yet, the consequences for recipient temperate fish communities remain …

Pathogen transmission is a major limit of social species. Social distancing, a behavioural-
based response to diseases, has been regularly reported in nature. However, the …

There has long been a fundamental divide in the study of cooperation: researchers focus
either on cooperation within species, including but not limited to sociality, or else on …

The formation of mixed‐species social groups, whereby heterospecifics form and maintain
either transient or stable groups with each other, can confer substantial fitness benefits to …

Prey incorporate information about risk, safety, and the reliability of both of these cues when
assessing risk of predation. Here, we report results of an experiment testing avoidance of …
