Visual information alone changes behavior and physiology during social interactions in a cichlid fish (Astatotilapia burtoni).

Visual information alone changes behavior and physiology during social interactions in a cichlid fish (Astatotilapia burtoni).

Social behavior can influence physiological systems dramatically yet the sensory cues responsible are not well understood. Behavior of male African cichlid fish, Astatotilapia burtoni, in their natural habitat suggests that visual cues from conspecifics contribute significantly to regulation of soci...
