If a fish can pass the mark test, what are the implications for consciousness and self-awareness testing in animals?
Masanori Kohda,Takashi Hotta,Tomohiro Takeyama,Tomohiro Takeyama,Satoshi Awata,Hirokazu Tanaka,Hirokazu Tanaka,Jun-ya Asai,Lyndon Alexander Jordan,Lyndon Alexander Jordan +9 more
TL;DR: It is shown that a fish, the cleaner wrasse Labroides dimidiatus, shows behaviour that may reasonably be interpreted as passing through all phases of the mark test: social reactions towards the reflection, repeated idiosyncratic behaviours towards the mirror, and frequent observation of their reflection.
Journal ArticleDOI
Social system and reproduction of helpers in a cooperatively breeding cichlid fish ( Julidochromis ornatus ) in Lake Tanganyika: field observations and parentage analyses
TL;DR: The molecular analysis revealed that the helpers were mostly unrelated to dominant breeders, many helpers of both sexes contributed genetically to the next generations, and large young unrelated to group members were detected at 30% of observed nests, which may be due to breeder (or helper) replacements and immigration of young.
Journal ArticleDOI
A new hypothesis for species coexistence: male–male repulsion promotes coexistence of competing species
TL;DR: The hypothesis states that repulsive behavior between conspecific males (male–male repulsion) creates space for competing species, which promotes their coexistence, which can explain the coexistence of two competing species even when their ecological niches completely overlap in spatially homogeneous environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inheritance Pattern of Lateral Dimorphism in Two Cichlids (a Scale Eater, Perissodus microlepis, and an Herbivore, Neolamprologus moorii) in Lake Tanganyika
TL;DR: The presence of lefty and righty mouth morphs in the herbivorous cichlid Neolamprologus moorii is revealed, although the degree of deviation was not large.
Journal ArticleDOI
Facial Recognition in a Group-Living Cichlid Fish
Masanori Kohda,Lyndon Alexander Jordan,Takashi Hotta,Naoya Kosaka,Kenji Karino,Hirokazu Tanaka,Masami Taniyama,Tomohiro Takeyama +7 more
TL;DR: Digital models are used to demonstrate that facial features are the visual cue used for individual recognition in the social fish Neolamprologus pulcher, and suggest that fish can distinguish individuals accurately using facial colour patterns.
