β¦ Synopsis
Recently, evidence for 'partner choice' in many different contexts (e.g. foraging, anti-predator behaviour) has been accumulating in the fish behavioural ecology literature. In addition to demonstrating relatively complex behaviour in fish, these studies suggest that work on partner choice may benefit by incorporating a cognitive ethological approach to behaviour. We believe that using this approach when studying partner choice, and social behaviour in general, will allow us to address new questions of interest both to fish biologists and to cognitive ethologists.
