Chemosensory recognition of northern pike (Esox lucius) by brook stickleback (Culaea inconstans): population differences and the influence of predator diet
Abstract
Brook stickleback from a pike-allopatric population responded to chemical stimuli from northern pike with an appropriate anti-predator behaviour (decreased activity) only when the stimulus was obtained from pike that had eaten conspecific stickleback. Stickleback from a pike-sympatric population exhibited a fright response to chemical stimuli from pike that had eaten only heterospecific fish prey.
