Daily variation in behavioural lateralization is linked to predation stress in ...
Ferrari, Maud C.O.; McCormick, Mark Ian; Mitchell, Matthew David .; Allan, Bridie J. M.; Gonçalves, Emanuel João; Chivers, Douglas P.Behavioural lateralization, the preferential use of one side of the body or one of the limbs, is a trait common in vertebrates, and is often expressed as a turning bias in fishes. Recent studies have demonstrated considerable plasticity in lateralization, inferring the role of predation pressure as a key driver of this plasticity over short periods (i.e. days). Such plasticity may be expected if predator pressu...
At odds with the group: Changes in lateralization and escape performance reveal...
Chivers, Douglas P.; McCormick, Mark Ian; Allan, Bridie J. M.; Mitchell, Matthew David; Gonçalves, Emanuel João; Bryshun, Reid; Ferrari, Maud C.O.Many vertebrates are known to show behavioural lateralization, whereby they differentially use one side of their body or either of their bilateral organs or limbs. Behavioural lateralization often manifests in a turning bias in fishes, with some individuals showing a left bias and others a right bias. Such biases could be the source of considerable conflict in fish schools given that there may be considerable s...
