Animals use a precisely timed motor sequence to escape predators. This requires the
nervous system to coordinate several motor behaviors and execute them in a temporal and …

Elevated levels of anthropogenic noise, especially those observed through boating activity,
can negatively impact fish species, but it remains unclear which species are most affected …

Light cycles and predatory threat define activity patterns (eg feeding/sleeping, activity/rest) in
most diurnal fish species. Artificial light at night (ALAN) may disrupt natural cycles and …

Fish schools are capable of simultaneous linear acceleration. To reveal the underlying
hydrodynamic mechanism, we numerically investigate how Reynolds number Re ¼ 1000 …

Timing is an essential parameter influencing many behaviours. A previous study
demonstrated a high sensitivity of a phocid, the harbour seal (Phoca vitulina), in …

Highlights•We examined collective behaviour in schooling Gulf menhaden in natural
habitats.•Habitat context induced changes in collective behavioural state of fish …

Escape swimming is a crucial behavior by which undulatory swimmers evade potential
threats. The hydrodynamics of escape swimming have not been well studied, particularly for …

Laterality has been reported in many vertebrates, and asymmetrical cerebral hemisphere
function has been hypothesized to cause a left-bias in social behavior and a right-bias in …

Predator–prey interactions are ubiquitous and under strong selection because of the
consequences experienced by both predator and prey if they lose the interaction …

Accelerative manoeuvres, such as fast-starts, are crucial for fish to avoid predation. Escape
responses are fast-starts that include fundamental survival traits for prey that experience …
