Fission–fusion society, the Glossary

In ethology, fission–fusion society is one in which the size and composition of the social group change as time passes and animals move throughout the environment; animals merge into a group (fusion)—e.g. sleeping in one place—or split (fission)—e.g. foraging in small groups during the day.^[1]

Zoosemiotics

African elephant

African elephants are members of the genus Loxodonta comprising two living elephant species, the African bush elephant (L. africana) and the smaller African forest elephant (L. cyclotis).

See Fission–fusion society and African elephant

African forest elephant

The African forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis) is one of the two living species of African elephant.

Bat

Bats are flying mammals of the order Chiroptera.

See Fission–fusion society and Bat

Carnivore

A carnivore, or meat-eater (Latin, caro, genitive carnis, meaning meat or "flesh" and vorare meaning "to devour"), is an animal or plant whose food and energy requirements are met by the consumption of animal tissues (mainly muscle, fat and other soft tissues) whether through hunting or scavenging. Fission–fusion society and carnivore are Ethology.

Cetacea

Cetacea is an infraorder of aquatic mammals belonging to the order Artiodactyla that includes whales, dolphins and porpoises.

Chimpanzee

The chimpanzee (Pan troglodytes), also simply known as the chimp, is a species of great ape native to the forests and savannahs of tropical Africa.

Copulation (zoology)

In zoology, copulation is animal sexual behavior in which a male introduces sperm into the female's body, especially directly into her reproductive tract. Fission–fusion society and copulation (zoology) are Ethology.

Elephant

Elephants are the largest living land animals.

Ethology

Ethology is a branch of zoology that studies the behaviour of non-human animals.

See Fission–fusion society and Ethology

Human

Humans (Homo sapiens, meaning "thinking man") or modern humans are the most common and widespread species of primate, and the last surviving species of the genus Homo.

See Fission–fusion society and Human

Human bonding

Human bonding is the process of development of a close interpersonal relationship between two or more people.

See Fission–fusion society and Human bonding

Myotis septentrionalis

Myotis septentrionalis, known as the northern long-eared bat or northern myotis, is a species of bat native to North America.

Orangutan

Orangutans are great apes native to the rainforests of Indonesia and Malaysia.

See Fission–fusion society and Orangutan

Pair bond

In biology, a pair bond is the strong affinity that develops in some species between a mating pair, often leading to the production and rearing of young and potentially a lifelong bond. Fission–fusion society and pair bond are Ethology.

See Fission–fusion society and Pair bond

Primate

Primates is an order of mammals, which is further divided into the strepsirrhines, which include lemurs, galagos, and lorisids; and the haplorhines, which include tarsiers; and the simians, which include monkeys and apes.

See Fission–fusion society and Primate

The social environment, social context, sociocultural context or milieu refers to the immediate physical and social setting in which people live or in which something happens or develops.

See Fission–fusion society and Social environment

In sociology, a social organization is a pattern of relationships between and among individuals and groups.
