Animal 社會 groups are 複雜系統s that are likely to exhibit tipping points-which are defined as drastic shifts in the dynamics of systems that arise from small changes in environmental conditions-yet this concept has not been carefully applied to these systems. Here, we summarize the concepts behind tipping points and describe instances in which they are likely to occur in animal societies. We also offer ways in which the study of 社會 tipping points can open up new lines of inquiry in behavioural 生態學 and generate novel questions, methods, and approaches in animal behaviour and other fields, including community and ecosystem 生態學. While some behaviours of living systems are hard to predict, we argue that probing tipping points across animal societies and across tiers of 生物 organization-族群s, communi
