Question

Groups of European blackbirds often participate in a behavior known as mobbing. Mobbing behavior occurs when individuals of the same species work together to chase off or attack a potential predator. Mobbing can be dangerous to individual European blackbirds since there is a risk of injury during the attack, but it is beneficial to the group overall because a potential predator is removed from the area. Mobbing is an example of _______ between members of a species. A. Cooperation B. Parasitism C. Predation D. Competition

Answer 1

Cooperation

Step-by-step explanation:

Cooperation occurs when organisms work together to accomplish a goal. Mobbing, which is common in many bird species, is an example of cooperative behavior. During mobbing, organisms of the same species work together to chase off or attack a potential predator. Although there is a risk to individual organisms, there is an overall benefit for the population.
