P. Visvanathan, Gokul Prasad Sahu
Abstract
Social behavior in animals is a fascinating field of study that provides insights into the evolutionary processes shaping behavior and offers clues about species survival and adaptation. This paper presents a comprehensive overview of the evolution of social behavior in animals, covering definitions, historical perspectives, mechanisms, types, factors influencing social behavior, comparative studies, and evolutionary significance. By examining various examples and case studies, we highlight the importance of studying social behavior in animals and its implications for evolutionary biology, psychology, and conservation science.
