Article Synopsis
- Many species, including zebrafish, show a preference for familiar group members over unfamiliar ones, thought to be beneficial for social interactions.
- A study found that zebrafish exhibited a preference for familiar shoals only when the distance between shoals was short (30 cm), indicating that distance affects their ability to choose.
- The findings highlight the importance of experimental design in studying social behaviors, suggesting that too much distance can inhibit zebrafish from recognizing familiarity.
