Research Reveals Why Sharks Appear to be Math Genius
Sharks possibly are more sensible than clever, which might make them appear like they are brilliant mathematicians, reveals a new study.
Sharks possibly are more sensible than clever, which might make them appear like they are brilliant mathematicians, reveals a new study.
Dr David Jacoby, a behavioural ecologist now at the Institute of Zoology, London said that they found that even though the sizes of the groups forming changed, socially well-connected individuals remained well-connected under each new habitat. In other words, their social network positions were repeated through time and across different habitats.
The researchers added that these results were driven by different social preferences (i.e social/antisocial individuals) that appeared to reflect different strategies for staying safe. Well-connected individuals formed conspicuous groups, while less social individuals tended to camouflage alone, matching their skin colour with the colour of the gravel substrate in the bottom of the tank.
