Backup behavior

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In behavioral biology, security behavior (also paying attention ) refers to the activities of an animal that serve to protect against predators . From an evolutionary point of view, the time spent by an individual for securing increases the chances of survival in this regard, but it takes away from the time for other important behaviors such as food acquisition or partner search. There is convincing evidence that as the group size increases, the amount of time spent on securing behavior per individual decreases to a certain extent, although the precise relationships are still the subject of current research.
