Mechanism

Social thermogenesis occurs when organisms cluster together for warmth. Naked mole rat colonies of 100+ cluster together, with members rotating from warm center to cold periphery, surviving together when individuals would die alone.

Ecosystem collaboration for survival - companies in an industry cluster may survive together through shared resources, rotating between profitable and unprofitable positions, when each alone would fail.
