TL;DR: In this article, the statistical properties of schooling fish (Pseudomugil signifer) through a combination of experiments and simulations were analyzed using a Boltzmann inversion method.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantitatively assessed the relationship between personality and the feeding ecology of cleaner fish to provide novel insights into the underlying mechanistic basis of cheating in cleaner-client interactions and found that individuals that exhibited greater feeding effort tended to cheat proportionately less and move over smaller distances relative to bolder more active, exploratory individuals.

TL;DR: It is found that the guppies under low predation made better decisions when in groups but not those under high predation, suggesting a trade-off in the ability of fish to use collective cognition to detect predators and to detect food, depending on the predation level they face.

TL;DR: The escape paths of fish are context dependent, showing more unpredictability when attacks come from closer distances, and this work provides a method for quantifying the Escape paths of animals.

TL;DR: It is shown that two freshwater shoaling fish species, three-spined stickleback and banded killifish, have a greater preference for the chemical cues of conspecifics that are the same size as themselves than for those of larger or smaller conspecials.
