OBS

Il s'en est suivi ce que Calhoun appelle un effondrement du comportement, a behavioural sink, qu'il commente ainsi : c'est le résultat de tout processus qui réunit des animaux en quantité anormale, ce qui implique une aggravation de toutes les formes pathologiques que l'on peut trouver à l'intérieur d'un groupe. (René Lenoir, Les Exclus, Seuil, coll. Points/Actuels, 1974, p. 18.)
