THE EFFECT OF ISOLATION FROM THE FATHER ON THE BEHAVIOR OF MALE THREE-SPINED STICKLEBACKS TO MODELS

Abstract

Male Three-spined Sticklebacks prevented from seeing their (red) fathers, who normally tend them for a few days after hatching, discriminated between male and (non-Red) feamle models no differently from controls with respect to aggresive and courtship behavior. This discrimination was not altered immediately after being beaten up with one of the models. (Author)
