Shape learning and discrimination in reef fish.
Coral reef fish live in a complex world of colour and patterns. If they are to survive they need to be able to correctly identify the things they see (e.g. predators, prey) and act accordingly (e.g. flee, feed). This paper investigates whether discrimination is limited to ecologically relevant stimuli or is in fact more adaptable. Our work focuses on the reef damselfish Pomacentrus amboinensis....
متن کاملEvolution of mate discrimination in a fish
As Fisher [1] recognised, one of the ‘grossest blunders’ that an animal can make is to squander its gametes on matings that hold no prospect of producing viable offspring. Selection is thus expected to favour mate recognition behaviour that reduces sexual interactions between heterospecific individuals. Irwin and Price [2] hypothesised that selection for increased mating discrimination may caus...
متن کاملEvaluation of Ecological Importance of Mysids as a Food Item in the Diet of Fish, New Zealand
The main objective of this study is to determine the ecological importance of mysids as a food item of selected fish species using C and N isotopes (stable isotopic study) and gut content analysis of fish. Fish samples (Galaxias maculates and Athrinidae sp.) and mysid samples (Tenagomysis chiltoni and T. novaezealandiae) were collected from Kakamatua Stream situated on the west coast of Aucklan...
متن کاملA Morphological Approach to Fish Discrimination
In this paper, we propose a new method of the feature extraction for fish discrimination using mathematical morphology. The conventional research of fish discrimination used parameters which relied upon the physical characteristics of shape, contour and colour. But these methods were insufficient for pract,ical application system. Other physical pararneters include the colouring patterns, speck...
متن کاملLarge Number Discrimination in Newborn Fish
Quantitative abilities have been reported in a wide range of species, including fish. Recent studies have shown that adult guppies (Poecilia reticulata) can spontaneously select the larger number of conspecifics. In particular the evidence collected in literature suggest the existence of two distinct systems of number representation: a precise system up to 4 units, and an approximate system for...
