The Role of Tailflip Behavior in Crayfish During Dominance Hierarchy Formation

HERBERHOLZ, J.; ISSA, F.A.; EDWARDS, D.H.: The Role of Tailflip Behavior in Crayfish During Dominance Hierarchy Formation. When placed together in a limited space, crayfish engage in agonistic interactions that lead to formation of social dominance hierarchies. The interactions feature attacks, where one animal physically assaults another with its claws, approaches, where no contact occurs, […]
