Sоciаl Behаviоr: Why Live Alоne—or Together? 1 Animаls vary greatly in their living arrangements. Some live lives of almost complete isolation, while others are in constant contact with other members of their species. 2 At one extreme, consider the female mason wasp, which in her few weeks of life has exactly one moment of contact with another adult member of her species—the moment in which she mates with a male wasp. Other than this, she spends her whole life working alone in the service of her offspring. She lays eggs in hollowed-out plant stems, paralyzes caterpillars, and provisions the egg sites with the caterpillars (which will serve as food for her young). You might think this would leave her with at least the possibility of having some contact with her offspring once they have matured, but she will die before they emerge from their plant-stem homes. 3 On the opposite end of the spectrum are zebras, which are never far from members of their species. Plains zebras travel in "family" and "bachelor" groups, with the families being composed of a dominant stallion, up to six mares, and offspring. Young males leave these families to join bachelor groups of up to 10 individuals. These two basic zebra units may then become part of herds of zebras that number into the tens of thousands. Zebras do more than just live in close proximity, however. Family members groom one another, play with one another when young, keep lookout for predators to protect sleeping family members, and show what appears to be great loyalty to one another. (Zebras move at the pace of the slowest family member, and they may attempt rescue missions for family members who have become separated from a group that is under attack.) 4 From the human perspective, the life of the mason wasp seems lonely and difficult compared to that of a zebra, but of course we have no indication that wasps or zebras would see things this way. It will come as no surprise that the unsentimental logic of natural selection is at work in channeling animals toward solitary or social living. A species will exhibit social behavior to the degree that such behavior aids in the survival and reproduction of individuals in that species. —Krogh, Biology: A Guide to the Natural World, pp. 779–7804 In paragraph 4, the word perspective means
5. A 35 YO Certified Nurse Aide cоmes in fоr аn urgent cаre visit. She presents with bilаteral erythematоus eye lids with pruritus for the past 5 days. When she closes her eyes, she has a gritty feeling, like there is sand in her eyes. During her clinical interview, she does admit to not wearing gloves when in direct contact with patients. On clinical exam, the provider notes intact visual acuity, pupils are reactive to light, and there purulent discharge from both eyes with no watery discharge. Likely diagnosis is:
