Group Roosting

Group Roosting is a behavioral ecology construct that refers to the synchronized occupation of a shared resting site by multiple conspecific individuals, distinguished from solitary roosting by its emphasis on social aggregation and collective benefits such as enhanced predator detection, thermoregulatory efficiency, and information transfer.
