20、e not sodifferent.A new study,led by Damien Farine,an ornithologist who studies collective behaviour,showsthat the vulturineguineafowl of eastern Africa,like humans,have multilevel societies.In the past,scientists assumedsuch social structures required a lot of brainpower.But the pea-brained guineaf

21、owl are revealing thefaults in that assumption.These large birds wander across the landscape in packs,often walking so closely that theirbodies touch.They may fight each other to maintain their strict hierarchies(等级制度),but at othertimes they engage in friendly behaviours like sharing food.Suspecting

22、 the guineafowl might have a social structure,Dr.Farine and his colleagues began athorough study of their society.For a whole year,they made daily observations of 441 birds.Coloured leg bands in unique combinations let researchers tell the black-and-blue birds apart.Theyalso attached GPS devices to

23、the backs of 58 birds,which let them see exactly where every groupwent,24 hours a day.The findings of the research suggest that the vulturine guineafowl have a multilevel society.There are groups within groups within the population as a whole.There even seem to be groups offriends within the small g

24、roups.This is the first time anyone has observed such a society in a bird.And Dr.Farine emphasizes this particular birds tiny brain size:“They dont only have small高三英语第 4 页 共 8 页brains relative to mammals(哺 乳 动 物),they also have quite small brains relative to otherbirds,”he said.According to him,liv

25、ing in this kind of society might actually make it easier to keep track ofthe social order.For example,if groups are stable and a bird can identify just one or two individualswithin a group,it knows which group its looking atno need for a brain that can recognize everysingle animal.Multilevel societ

26、ies also let animals adjust their group sizes based on whateverchallenges theyre facing.Depending on what enemies or resources are around,it might make senseto travel in a combined group rather than a smaller one.“Having a multilevel structure may not require having a large brain,”Dr.Farine said.The

33、al Radio Astronomy Observatory(NRAO).You dont look through these kinds of telescopes.Theyre radio telescopes,so instead of高三英语第 5 页 共 8 页looking for distant stars,they listen for them.Theres a long line of astronomers all over the worldwho want to use the telescope which is so sensitive that it coul

34、d hear a single snowflake hitting theground 1,000 miles away.Such a sensitive listening tool needs total technological silence to operate,so in 1958 the USgovernment created a National Radio Quiet Zone,a 33,000 km2 area covering Green Bank where,to this day,electronic and radio signals are forbidden

43、words what could be said in 20,or for usingmulti-syllable words when a short one does just as well.It might feel good at first to pack a lot ofideas and details into a single sentence,but chances are that sentence is just going to be hard to read.If a phrase doesnt add anything valuable,just cut it.
