Multi-species societies
Research in community ecology, anthropology, and ethnoprimatology has identified mixed-species animal groups, and we argue that Moffett's definition of society allows these groups to qualify as societies. The existence of mixed-species society has two implications - that societies are structured by social norms, and that it may be more common to belong to multiple societies than Moffett suggests.
