Habituation of Predator Inspection and Boldness in the Guppy (Poecilia reticulata)SergeyBudaevauthorThis study examined habituation of the predator inspection behavior in the guppy (Poecilia reticulata) and its relationship with boldness (open field locomotion). Two different strategies were discovered: (1) initial inspection of a predator-like fish, correlated with boldness; (2) subsequent surveillance, governed by a random underlying process and unrelated with boldness. The surveillance inspection is probably linked with anti-predator vigilance. Possible implications to between-population variation in inspection behavior are discussed.Behavioral NeuroscienceAnimal BehaviorEthologyComparative Psychology2003MAIK Nauka/ InterperiodikaJournal (Paginated)
