allelomimetic behavior??
What in the world is allelomimetic behavior? Can't find it in any english
language dictionary. Haven't had time to look in the science-type dictionaries. The root *allelo* refers to genetic traits. If this is the fashion, how can one train something to something that is genetic? ignerint in iowa

Allelomimetic behaviour is contagious behaviour, i.e. behaviour which influences another to do the same. Dogs commonly show allelomimetic behaviour. It is often advantageous for social animals to display this sort of behaviour. In prey animals like deer, zebra or wildebeest, one individual has the ability to trigger the whole herd to flee. This trait is so important for self-preservation that farm animals like sheep, cows and horses still retain it. Social predators show these traits for hunting purposes. If one member of the pack suddenly runs after possible prey it is likely to trigger the same response in the whole pack. The wolf's howl may also be considered allelomimetic. When one wolf begins howling, the whole pack joins in, in chorus, especially if a high-ranking wolf has initiated it. Dogs clearly show allelomimetic behaviour when they bark because the neighbour's dog is barking, or when they run after playing children.
