Social Learning of a Novel Avoidance Task in the Guppy: Conformity and Social Release (2002, background): “level of familiarity with the test environment may have significant impact on escape efficiency (Brown 2001).”
What makes fish vulnerable to capture by hooks? A conceptual framework and a review of key determinants (2017, background): “Longer memory retention has been found in crimson spotted rainbow fish, Melanotaenia duboulayi, which learned to avoid a trawl for up to 11 months (Brown, 2001) as well as in carp, which avoided recapture for up to 1 year (Beukema, 1970a).”
Making habitat selection more “familiar”: a review (2011, background): “2001; Vlasak 2006), (4) effective escape from predators (Tinbergen 1953; Metzgar 1967; Clarke et al. 1993; Lopez et al. 2000; Brown 2001), (5) reduced conflict with neighbors (the “dear enemy” effect; reviewed by Temeles 1994), and (6) improved thermoregulation (Chelazzi and Calzolai 1986).”
Boldness and behavioral syndromes in the bluegill sunfish, Lepomis macrochirus (2009, result): “As such, their behavior (activity, predator inspection) toward a novel threat stimulus and one to which they have been acclimated would likely be different, as we observed and has been observed in other fish species (e.g., Brown 2001).”
