的风险(每头攻击率),占领离散的空间位置内的一所学校的25大西洋银鱼,Menidia menidia,攻击下的黑鲈鱼,Centropristis striata,进行了测定。在可用的情况下,掉队者比学校更频繁地受到攻击,并且与学校成员相比,他们遭受的风险要高得多。在学校内,中央银鱼遭受最多的攻击,并持续显着较高的风险比例,相比周边银鱼。这一发现与理论模型相矛盾,占据一个给定的位置内的动物聚集的相对利益,似乎是可以解释的捕食者的攻击模式和学校的规模。
The risk (per caput attack rate) of occupying discrete spatial locations within a school of 25 Atlantic silversides,Menidia menidia, under attack by a black seabass,Centropristis striata, was determined. When available, stragglers were attacked more frequently than the school and suffered a significantly higher risk in comparison to school members. Within the school, central silversides suffered the most attacks and sustained a significantly higher percentage of the risk, as compared to peripheral silversides. This finding contradicts theoretical models of the relative benefit of occupying a given location within an animal aggregation and seems to be explicable in terms of predator attack modes and school size.
