Chemical Recognition of Risky Habitats is Culturally Transmitted among Fathead Minnows, Pimephales promelas (Osteichthyes, Cyprinidae)
Abstract
Fathead minnows (Pimephales promelas) have an alarm substance (AS), or 'Schreckstoff', in epidermal club cells. Mechanical damage to the skin, as caused by a predator attack, releases the AS. The area in which conspecifics detect AS may be considered dangerous or risky because of the high probability of a subsequent predator attack. We exposed fathead minnows to water from one of two habitats (an open-water site and a vegetated-cover site) that...
