Left-Turning Reef Fish Excel in Spatial Cognition Maze Tests
Original: Left-Turning Reef Fish Outsmart Their Rivals in Maze Tests of Spatial Cognition
Reef fish that favor left turns are outperforming their rivals in maze tests measuring spatial cognition, according to a report circulating this week. The findings suggest individual turning bias may reflect underlying differences in how fish navigate, remember routes and compete for resources on the reef, offering researchers a fresh window into the cognitive abilities of even small-brained animals.
Why now: Fresh research on animal intelligence and fish navigation is drawing attention
