自然界中很难找到不因某种原因而聚集的动物。这种聚集的细节是重要的，因为它们影响许多基本过程，如配偶发现，猎物检测，捕食者回避和疾病传播。然而，尽管聚合的普遍性及其深远的影响，生物学家直到最近才开始探索其潜在的机制。在这一章中，我们回顾了动物聚集的理论方法，集中在由社会相互作用引起的聚集。我们强调方法和局限性，并建议我们认为是未来研究的最有前途的途径。关于动物分组的动力学方面的早期综述文章，请参阅Okubo（1986）。
It is hard to find animals in nature that do not aggregate for one reason or another. The details of such aggregations are important because they influence numerous fundamental processes like mate-finding, prey-detection, predator avoidance, and disease transmission. Yet, despite the near universality of aggregation and its profound consequences, biologists have only recently begun to probe its underlying mechanisms. In this chapter we review theoretical approaches to animal aggregation, concentrating on aggregations which are caused by social interactions. We emphasize methods and limitations, and suggest what we think are the most promising avenues for future research. For an earlier review article on dynamical aspects of animal grouping consult Okubo (1986).
