第一段:动物警惕性和规模之间有一定的关系,通常group size越大,单个动物的警惕性越小。然后有两个人给出了两种解释:Group size hypothesis和 Risk reduce Hypothesis(有问题问这两种假设的区别)
As group size increases, however, competition for resources may also increase, particularly when those resources are scarce and essential for survival (Lima 1990). As a consequence of increased competition, individuals may be forced to exert greater effort to obtain their share of the available resource (Clark & Mangel 1986; Mitchell et al. 1990; Shaw et al. 1995), and hence, may appear more willing to engage in apparently high-risk behaviours than when alone (e.g. Barnard et al. 1983; Dill & Fraser 1984). Thus, increased competition may represent an additional explanation for the frequently observed positive relationship between risk-taking behaviour and group size (see Elgar 1989; Lima 1990; Roberts 1996; Beauchamp & Livoreil 1997; Beauchamp 1998). These two mechanisms need not be mutually exclusive: both risk reduction and increased competition may contribute to the group size effect. However, no experimental assessment of the relative importance of the two mechanisms exists (Lima 1990), in part because most authors have been content to accept the risk reduction hypothesis (see Lima 1990; Roberts 1996), but also because it is unclear how to separate their effects.
