Fun and play in invertebrates
نویسنده
چکیده
bouts irrespective of sex. This behavior seems to fit the play criteria and certainly warrants closer study. I have studied Vietnamese mossy frog tadpoles repeatedly ‘riding’ bubbles from an airstone at the bottom of a tall tank to the top. I have observed similar behavior in marine fish in a large very tall communal aquarium with such an air column. Here it is actually possible to be a bit anthropomorphic as the behavior does look as if it would be fun for us!

Play may have arisen in vertebrate lineages as a by-product of traits associated with the complex behaviours and cognitive abilities, in turn associated with increased brain size.

متن کاملPlay in dolphins
one can ask if there is stabilizing selection for fun and fairness that reins in the possible costs of behavior that can be too risky or too costly, including social play. We know, for example, that individual golden marmots, southern fur seals, and young bighorn sheep who are caught up in the frivolity of play seem to suffer more injuries and higher mortality than those who are not playing. So...
