Communal roosting is an animal behavior where a group of individuals, typically of the same species, congregate in an area for a few hours based on an external signal and will return to the same site with the reappearance of the signal. Environmental signals are often responsible for this grouping, including nightfall, high tide, or rainfall. The distinction between communal roosting and cooperative breeding is the absence of chicks in communal roosts. While communal roosting is generally observed in birds, the behavior has also been seen in bats, primates, and insects. The size of these roosts can measure in the thousands to millions of individuals, especially among avian species.

  • Communal roosting is an animal behavior where a group of individuals, typically of the same species, congregate in an area for a few hours based on an external signal and will return to the same site with the reappearance of the signal. Environmental signals are often responsible for this grouping, including nightfall, high tide, or rainfall. The distinction between communal roosting and cooperative breeding is the absence of chicks in communal roosts. While communal roosting is generally observed in birds, the behavior has also been seen in bats, primates, and insects. The size of these roosts can measure in the thousands to millions of individuals, especially among avian species. There are many benefits associated with communal roosting including: increased foraging ability, decreased thermoregulatory demands, decreased predation, and increased conspecific interactions. While there are many proposed evolutionary concepts for how communal roosting evolved, no specific hypothesis is currently supported by the scientific community as a whole. (en)
  • Roesten is het slapen in een kolonie door vogels of vleermuizen. Veel dieren hebben hiervoor een vaste roestplaats, waar honderden soortgenoten bij elkaar komen. Over het algemeen wordt de term 'roesten' niet gebruikt als vogels of vleermuizen solitair of in gezinsverband slapen. (nl)
  • Empoleiramento comunitário é um comportamento animal em que um grupo de indivíduos, geralmente da mesma espécie, se junta numa área ao longo de algumas áreas devido a um sinal externo e regressa ao mesmo local quando esse sinal volta a aparecer. Sinais ambientais são muitas vezes responsáveis por esse agrupamento, incluindo anoitecer, maré alta ou chuva. A diferença entre os poleiros comunitários e a reprodução comunitária é a ausência de crias no primeiro caso. Embora os poleiros comunitários sejam geralmente observados em aves, o comportamento já foi observado em morcegos, primatas e insetos. O tamanho destes grupos pode atingir os milhares de indivíduos, especialmente entre as aves. Existem vários benefícios associados ao empoleiramento comunitário, incluindo o aumento da capacidade de procura de comida, a diminuição da energia necessária para regulação térmica, diminuição do perigo de predadores e aumento das interações entre a espécie.
