Article Abstract:

Research indicates that if foraging together is to the benefit of the animals, the equilibrium behavior of the animals synchronize and this synchronization leads to adopting different behavioral roles by the animals. Data show that the individual with lower energy reserves becomes the 'pace maker' and determines when the animal pair should forage.
