摘要
Mathematical models of fish schooling offer powerful tools to understand and interpret fundamental aspects of social life, such as foraging, predator avoidance, and migration. Here, we study zebrafish (Danio rerio) response to computer-animated fish shoals whose motion is generated by a mathematical model of schooling. We use a dichotomous test wherein fish freely position themselves near static images of zebrafish shoals or images animated by the model whose parameters are systematically varied.
