对动物导航和聚集这一令人困惑的现象的研究沿着两条截然不同的路线进行。对导航的研究通常侧重于个体的定向能力,而不涉及群体成员的影响。伯格曼和唐纳在1964年首先提出了一个简单的原则(“多错原则”),汉密尔顿和沃拉夫在30年前发展了这个原则。该原则提出,导航精度随着群体规模的增加而增加,从而在这些当前感兴趣的领域之间建立了联系。有了前所未有的范围来测试它所产生的假设,现在是时候挖掘出许多错误原则了。
Research into the puzzling phenomena of animal navigation and aggregation has proceeded along two distinct lines. Study of navigation generally focuses on the orientation ability of the individual without reference to the implications of group membership. A simple principle (the 'many wrongs principle'), first proposed by Bergman and Donner in 1964, and developed by both Hamilton and Wallraff three decades ago, provides a link between these lines of current interest by suggesting that navigational accuracy increases with group size. With unprecedented scope for testing the hypotheses it generates, it is now time that the many wrongs principle is exhumed.
