This Concept Map, created with IHMC CmapTools, has information related to: Sociality Def Ex AF, eusocial groups (= highest level of sociality) that exhibit all 3 characteristics / traits, rarely, Mammals: "mole rats" for example "Damaraland" mole rats, The Adaptive Functions includining (but not restricted to): proper "socialization", all 3 characteristics / traits which are rerpoductive division of labor (= "castes") for which some individuals do not reproduce, The interactions of individuals in a relatively stable group (for which "enduring bonds" exist) is studied by Phsychologists: especially primate sociality, The interactions of individuals in a relatively stable group (for which "enduring bonds" exist) does not include short-term (ephemeral) mother-offspring interactions, 2 "taxa" of animals including rarely, Mammals: "mole rats", Insects for example: termites, short-term (ephemeral) mother-offspring interactions for example Wolf Spider mothers carrying offspring on her back until she disperses them, The interactions of individuals in a relatively stable group (for which "enduring bonds" exist) is studied by computer scientists: for artificial intelligence: i.e., robotic bee pollinators; robotic facial recognition, Parasocial (= "besides social") involving communal living species that lack 1 or more of the Eusocial traits / characteristics, The Adaptive Functions includining (but not restricted to): improved ability to find food (also due to "many eyes"), proper "socialization" that leads to "emotional stability" and "flexibility" (to deal with changing social environment), short-term (brief) male-female mating interactions for example mating Spiders (with no bonds after mating), rerpoductive division of labor (= "castes") for which some individuals do not reproduce including 2 "taxa" of animals, rarely, Mammals: "mole rats" for example "naked" mole rats, social groups = any stable group that lacks one or more of the eusocial characteristics for which Entomologists (who study insects) call all non-Eusocial animals: "Pre-social" (= existing prior to eusocial) (note: you will not be tested on this part of the classification on the post-test), Insects for example: Ants, Bees, Wasps, improved protection of offspring, Biologists of sorts including "ethologists"/ "Animal Behaviorists"
