Synchronous Air-Breathing in Polypterus (Actinopterygii)
Meeting Abstract P1-97 Sunday, Jan. 4 15:30 Synchronous Air-Breathing in Polypterus (Actinopterygii) YANAGITSURU, Y R*; HASTINGS, P A; Scripps Institution of Oceanography yuzo.yanagitsuru@gmail.com Several aquatic air-breathing species of vertebrates exhibit synchronous air-breathing behavior, whereby individuals in a group breathe air in unison. This behavior likely reduces predation of individuals in a manner analogous to fish schooling. Anecdotal […]
