R floc fact edic axa tra (Koch etcalf ps is demonstrated that group cohesion can increase navigational accu-racy in groups moving towards a fixed target direction (Grunbaum 1998) or towards a fixed target position (Codling et al. 2007).

Flocks were found to navigate more accurately than singletons in studies on the common scoter,Melanitta nigra, and long-tailed duck, Clangula hyemalis (Bergman & Donner 1964), skylark, Alauda arvensis (Rabøl & Noer 1973) and homing pigeon |
