Fathead minnows, Pimephales promelas, learn to recognize northern pike, Esox lucius, as predators on the basis of chemical stimuli from minnows in the pike's diet

A Mathis, RJF Smith - Animal behaviour, 1993 - Elsevier
Abstract. Predator recognition by naive prey may be facilitated if a predator's diet
chemically'labels' the predator. In laboratory experiments, naive fathead minnows, exhibited …

sympatric with predatory northern pike (Esocidae: Esox lucius) exhibited a fright reaction to …

Fathead minnows, Pimephales promelas, acquire predator recognition when alarm substance is associated with the sight of unfamiliar fish

DP Chivers, RJF Smith - Animal Behaviour, 1994 - Elsevier
Abstract. To determine whether fathead minnows can learn to recognize potential predators
through releaser-induced recognition learning, predator-naive minnows were …

Free—living fathead minnows rapidly learn to recognize pike as predators

DP Chivers, RJF Smith - Journal of Fish Biology, 1995 - Wiley Online Library
Individuals from a natural population of approximately 20 000 fathead minnows from a pike–
free pond did not respond with appropriate anti–predator behaviour upon encountering pike …

Damselfly larvae learn to recognize predators from chemical cues in the predator's diet

DP Chivers, BD Wisenden, RJF Smith - Animal Behaviour, 1996 - Elsevier
Chemosensory recognition of predators by naive prey may be facilitated if the predator's diet
chemically 'labels' the predator. In a laboratory experiment, behaviour patterns were …

Differential learning rates of chemical versus visual cues of a northern pike by fathead minnows in a natural habitat

GE Brown, DP Chivers, RJF Smith - Environmental Biology of Fishes, 1997 - Springer
We stocked 39 juvenile pike, Esox lucius, into a previously pike free pond which contained a
population of approximately 78 000 fathead minnows, Pimephales promelas. Fathead …
