A scientist plans to study two different species of birds on the Galapagos Islands over a five-year period of time. Species A demonstrates flocking behavior while foraging. Species B does not. The scientist predicted that species B would be more successful. His primary evidence behind this prediction is the lack of competition between individuals for food. Identify the evidence the scientist used to support the prediction.

- Identify other evidence in the animal kingdom that may be relevant to this claim.

- Use the evidence to defend or refute the scientist's prediction.

- Explain the cause-and-effect relationship between group behaviors, an individual's survival, and the species' survival.
