Many vertebrates are known to show behavioural lateralization, whereby they differentially use one side of their body or either bilateral organs limbs. Behavioural lateralization often manifests in a turning bias fishes, with some individuals showing left and others right bias. Such biases could be the source considerable conflict fish schools given that there may social pressure conform group maintain effective evasion. Here, we predation is major determinant degree both relative absolute...
The bigmouth buffalo ( Ictiobus cyprinellus, Valenciennes 1844) is a long-lived freshwater fish native to North America that listed as species of special concern in its Saskatchewan-Nelson range. Little known about their ecology and behavior, especially the Saskatchewan Qu'Appelle River system where it faces multiple threats such habitat fragmentation competition with invasive species. In this study, we used acoustic telemetry track movements 44 throughout 2017–2019, 2021, monitor migration...
The bigmouth buffalo ( Ictiobus cyprinellus) is an iconic freshwater fish native to North America that in decline. Recent studies have revealed exhibit a slow pace of life, yet demographic information on outside Dakota and Minnesota lacking. We used otoliths investigate population demographics Canada, also monitored spawning frequency reproductive success the wild. From sample 52 collected during 2018–2021 we found from Qu'Appelle system more than 125 years old. Only 13 year classes ranging...
Abstract Many species possess damage‐released chemical alarm cues that function in alerting nearby individuals to a predator attack. One hypothesis for the evolution and/or maintenance of such is Predator Attraction Hypothesis, where predators, rather than prey, are “intended” recipients these cues. If attack attracts additional secondary predators might interfere with predation event, providing prey better chance escape. In this study, we conducted two experiments explore an amphibian...
