Watching birds in a flying V formation, switching directions seemingly on cue, one would think a silent sky director choreographed the performance.

But the creatures' talent is almost preternatural: Clustering or grouping together is an evolved and learned behavior that avian and marine life use to travel by air or sea.

Ducks, geese, swans and other migratory birds fly in V formation to save energy, while birds that remain within the same locale use flocks for protection. Most fish species, such as ...
