| Apr 22, 2017 at 14:16 | comment | added | Remi.b | @RHA that's the point of gregarious animals. As long as they father, whatever the reason is, they are called gregarious. At least it is my understanding. The example was given to me a number of years ago by a prof. during my bachelor degree but his definition might differ from what is being used in the literature. | |

| Apr 22, 2017 at 12:06 | comment | added | RHA | Insects attracted to a light source is rather an awkward example, as this is no social behaviour they benefit from. On the contrary, many die. | |

| Apr 21, 2017 at 16:56 | comment | added | Remi.b | Gregarious species do not share labours. It means that they all do the same thing (that is doing their best to survive and reproduce) although they may use different strategy (like being territorial vs a sneaker in birds). | |
| Apr 21, 2017 at 16:54 | comment | added | Pablo | Does Gregarious include species who gather in groups and share the same labours ? That's what I'm more interested to know. Like for example, all hunt for the group, all gather for the group, or all dig for the group, etc. | |
