Fig. 1. Cornering observed during 20 min of observation. (A) Mean frequency of
cornering events in the reflective and non-reflective (matte) environments.
Dominant (Dom) and subordinate (Sub) crayfish paired for 30 min cornered more
frequently on the mirrored side of the tank. After 3 days of pairing, dominant
crayfish cornered more frequently on the reflective side. Group-socialized
crayfish also cornered more on the reflective side of the tank compared with
the non-reflective side. (B) Mean time each crayfish group spent cornering on
the reflective and non-reflective (matte) sides of the test aquarium. After 30
min of pairing, both dominant and subordinate crayfish cornered for a longer
time on the mirrored side of the tank, but after 3 days of pairing only
dominant crayfish did (paired t-test:
***P<0.0001, **P<0.005,
*P<0.05; N=20). Error bars depict standard
deviation.
