Eusocial insects like ants and honey bees are multicellular animals that live in colonies with a highly organized social structure. Colonies of some social insects may be deemed superorganisms. [6] Animals, such as humans and rodents, form breeding or nesting colonies, potentially for more successful mating and to better protect offspring.
New colonies are founded in a clumped pattern, around the mating sites. [11] [13] The population may self-thin through direct interference competition [11] resulting in a uniformly overdispersed distribution pattern. [11] Long-term colony survival is mediated by proximity to older colonies. [32] Smaller colonies have closer nearest neighbors. [11]

Although water voles appear to have the ability to reproduce in large numbers, as do many other rodents, their population densities are actually kept very low and live in colonies of 8-40 individuals. [11] This may be due to the very short breeding season compared to other rodents who breed for 6 months or more. [6]
Throughout the colonial period, subsistence farming was pervasive. Farmers supplemented their income with sales of surplus crops or animals in the local market, or by exports to the slave colonies in the British West Indies. Logging, hunting and fishing supplemented the family economy. [4]
