摘要

Dominant zebrafish (Danio rerio) previously have been shown to reduce their monopolization of food when foraging in structurally complex habitats compared with open habitats. Complex habitats may be more difficult to defend but may also be safer. To decouple these effects, we compared aggression and monopolization of food in groups of zebrafish foraging in an open habitat and one with overhead cover, as well as in an open habitat and a complex (vegetated) habitat. Covered and open habitats should have been equally defendable. In our experiments, fish used covered habitats more than open ones, suggesting that the perceived risk of predation was lower in covered habitats. There was no difference in use of vegetated and open habitats, suggesting that these habitats, which should differ in defendability, did not differ in safety. We found that the degree of food monopolization (expressed in the coefficient of variation within groups) at risky feeders was significantly greater in open habitats than in covered, but not vegetated, habitats. We did not find a difference in aggression between habitats. These results indicate that resource monopolization in groups of zebrafish is greater in risky habitats and support the hypothesis that the lower monopolization of food in complex habitats could result from greater safety in those habitats rather than, or in addition to, the reduction in defendability.
