Individual variation in spawning migration timing in a salmonid fish—exploring roles of environmental and social cues
<p><span>Describing and explaining patterns of individual animal behaviors in situ, and their repeatability over the annual cycle, is an emerging field in ecology owing largely to advances in tagging technology. We describe individual movements of adult Sakhalin taimen, <em>Parahucho</em> <em>perryi</em>, an endangered salmonid fish, in the headwaters of a river in northern Japan during the spring spawning season over two years. Migration timing, separated into stages prior to, during, and following the spawning period, was found to be more consistent and repeatable for females than males. We hypothesized that the observed coordinated movement within seasons, and repeatability in migration timing across seasons, could result from 1) individual-specific responsiveness resulting from endogenous, biological traits that are mediated by environmental factors, or 2) social interactions among comigrating individuals. We found that water temperature and water level experienced by fish near the river mouth approximately a week before arrival at the spawning ground explained variability in run timing between years for females but not males. We found no evidence of conspecific attraction or repulsion resulting from social interactions among the spawners and post-spawners. We conclude that individual-specific responsiveness to environmental cues was the likely mechanism underpinning the observed migration timing and movement patterns.</span></p>

Data from: Social cues can push amphibious fish to their thermal limits
Social context can impact how animals respond to changes in their physical environment. We used an aggressive, amphibious fish, the mangrove rivulus (Kryptolebias marmoratus) with environmentally-determined sociality to test the hypothesis that social interactions would push fish to their thermal limits. We capitalized on the propensity of rivulus to emerse from warming water and demonstrated that social stimuli, produced by their reflection, increased emersion threshold without changing critical thermal maximum, effectively diminishing thermal safety margins. When rivulus were denied air access, surface behaviours dramatically increased, supplanting social interactions. This suggests that assessing the terrestrial environment is crucially important. We conclude that social stimulation narrows the scope for survival in naturally stressful conditions.
Data from: Cichlid fish use coloration as a cue to assess the threat status of heterospecific intruders
The ability to assess the threat posed by competitors, and to respond appropriately, is important for reducing the costs of aggression. In this respect, aggression directed toward heterospecifics is often just as significant as aggression among conspecifics. This is especially true for cichlid fish that share breeding grounds with heterospecifics. Indeed, cichlids are known to differentiate not only between conspecifics that pose different levels of threat but also between heterospecific territorial intruders by directing more aggression toward nonbreeding individuals. To assess whether the ability to make such distinctions could be based on color cues alone, we carried out a field study in which we experimentally presented Amphilophus sagittae cichlid pairs with model intruders of a sympatric congener, Amphilophus xiloaensis, in breeding versus nonbreeding coloration. Consistent with our prediction, we found that A. sagittae exhibited more aggression toward A. xiloaensis models of the latter color type. The results are, to our knowledge, the first to show that territory holders can, based on coloration alone, assess variation among individuals of a species other than their own in the threat posed to offspring survival.
Data for: Fish can infer relations between colour cues in a non-social learning task
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>Transitive inference (TI) describes the ability to infer relationships between stimuli that have never been seen together before.</span><span> Social cichlids can use TI in a social setting where observers assess dominance status after witnessing contests between different dyads of conspecifics. If cognitive processes are domain-general, animals should use abilities evolved in a social context also in a non-social context. Therefore, if TI is domain-general in fish, social fish should be able to use TI also in non-social tasks.</span><span> Here we tested whether the cooperatively-breeding cichlid <em>Neolamprologus pulcher</em> can infer transitive relationships between artificial stimuli in a non-social context. We used an associative learning paradigm where the fish received a food reward when correctly solving a colour discrimination task. </span><span>Eleven of twelve subjects chose the </span><span>predicted outcome for TI </span><span>in the first test trial and five subjects performed with 100% accuracy in six successive test trials. We found no evidence that the fish solved the TI task by value transfer. Our findings show that fish use TI also in non-social tasks with artificial stimuli, thus generalizing past results reported in a social context and hinting toward a domain-general cognitive mechanism.</span></p>
Olfactory cues of risk and visual cues of safety interact with familiarity and phylogeny in shaping behavioral responses by littoral fishes
<p>Prey incorporate information reliability when assessing risk of predation. Here, we report results of an experiment testing avoidance of chemical alarm cues derived from skin extract of blacknose shiners, <em>Notropis</em> <em>heterolepis</em> (BNS), attraction of a visible shoal of five BNS, and the combination of both, on fishes in Deming Lake where BNS occur. We then repeated the experiment in nearby Budd Lake where BNS do not occur. BNS avoided traps with conspecific alarm cues but did not respond to the presence of BNS shoals. Fathead minnows, <em>Pimephales</em> <em>promelas</em> (FHM) avoided traps chemically labeled with BNS alarm cue when a shoal was absent and avoided BNS shoals when traps were labeled with water (control). When both BNS alarm cue and BNS shoal were combined, antipredator response to BNS alarm cue invoked a shoaling response with the BNS shoal in the trap. Redbelly dace, <em>Chrysomus</em> <em>eos</em> (RBD) responded weakly to BNS cues in Deming Lake and ignored them in Budd Lake. Non-cyprinid species (brook stickleback <em>Culaea</em> <em>inconstans</em> and pumpkinseed sunfish, <em>Lepomis</em> <em>gibbosus</em>) did not respond to either olfactory or visual cues of BNS in Deming Lake. In Budd Lake, neither avoidance of BNS alarm cue nor attraction to BNS shoals surpassed the threshold of statistical significance, indicating a role of familiarity and learned recognition of risk and safety in cross-species reactions to olfactory and visual cues of heterospecifics.</p>

Suction feeding by predators limits direct release of alarm cues in fishes
<p>Chemical alarm cues alert aquatic prey to the presence of an actively foraging predator. There is a large literature based upon responses to alarm cues derived from skin extract, because it is anticipated that prey skin is damaged when prey are attacked by a predator. However, many predators feed by suction feeding whereby prey are quickly drawn into the buccal cavity and swallowed whole with little, if any, direct contact between the teeth of the predator and the prey. Here, we test if predation by suction feeding releases chemical information in sufficient quantity to elicit an antipredator response in conspecific prey. In tests of individual zebrafish <i>Danio rerio</i>, we found that odor of crushed zebrafish produced a clear antipredator behavioral response, but water collected immediately adjacent to staged predation events between a largemouth bass <i>Micropterus salmoides</i> (122-145 mm TL) and adult zebrafish (39 mm TL) did not elicit alarm behavior, and did not differ from behavioral responses to blank water or bass odor (on a diet of earthworms). In a second experiment, zebrafish swallowed by largemouth bass, then retrieved seconds later through gastric lavage, produced zebrafish that were alive and completely intact with minimal epidermal damage. Published relationships between bass length, gape size and the geometry of suction feeding suggest that in a hypothetical population of largemouth bass feeding on adult zebrafish, or fathead minnows, the majority of predation events by piscivorous fish probably would not release detectable levels of prey alarm cue. Accounting for the role of feeding mechanics by fish predators requires a recalibration of the literature on risk assessment by small prey fishes. Chemically-mediated antipredator behaviors against suction-feeding predators may occur primarily via post-ingestion dietary cues, or disturbance cues released near the moment of attack.</p>
