aaseteattiryhmät
Aaseteattiryhmät are a phenomenon observed in the behavioral ecology of certain bird species, particularly within the Corvid family, such as crows and ravens. The term, which translates roughly to "food-sharing groups" in Finnish, describes a social dynamic where individuals, often unrelated, cooperate to obtain and distribute food resources. This cooperation can manifest in various ways, including joint foraging efforts, where a group works together to locate and access a food source, and in the subsequent sharing of the spoils.
The underlying mechanisms driving this behavior are thought to be rooted in reciprocal altruism and kin selection,
