Document Summary
Group 1 and 2 responded in decreasing foraging but not group 3. Indicates they learned about pike chemical cues based on their first experiment. Pike excretion left the scent of what it consumed. Need to be able to smell the pheromones released by the opposite sex to detect them and mate. After the 1st time, the male will no longer need the olfactory input to know which is female. Learning what their taste is like when choosing a mate- for the rats males are more likely to try and find a mate similar in smell to their mother. What it is and how to avoid it. Submissive animals have learned that the way to live along aside with dominant ones is to walk closely along the ground- a survival tactic for some species. In some specious there is also a hierarchy for the females of the group. High anxiety vs low anxiety selective breeding of rats.
