Table 2. The repeatabilities (R) of behavioural measures in juvenile pike (nā=ā34) within each experimental situation: (a) control (no risk), (b) competition (low risk), (c) predation (high risk).
Behavioural measure | R | SE | 95% CI | P | |
(a) control | Latency to attack prey | 0.12 | 0.06 | 0.00 to 0.24 | 0.011 |
Number of captured prey | 0.19 | 0.08 | 0.05 to 0.35 | 0.001 | |
Number of unsuccessful attacks | 0.10 | 0.09 | 0.00 to 0.32 | 0.094 | |
Swimming activity | 0.07 | 0.05 | 0.00 to 0.09 | 0.086 | |
(b) competition | Latency to attack prey | 0.35 | 0.10 | 0.15 to 0.54 | 0.001 |
Number of captured prey | 0.44 | 0.13 | 0.18 to 0.68 | 0.001 | |
Number of unsuccessful attacks | 0.00 | 0.10 | 0.00 to 0.32 | 0.660 | |
Swimming activity | 0.07 | 0.07 | 0.00 to 0.23 | 0.192 | |
(c) predation | Latency to attack prey | 0.07 | 0.07 | 0.00 to 0.22 | 0.183 |
Number of captured prey | 0.21 | 0.13 | 0.03 to 0.53 | 0.026 | |
Number of unsuccessful attacks | 0.00 | 0.29 | 0.00 to 0.85 | 0.788 | |
Swimming activity | 0.08 | 0.07 | 0.00 to 0.25 | 0.138 |
Generalised linear mixed-effects and linear mixed-effects models (rptR package in R [33]) with fish identity fitted as random effect and the behavioural measure as dependent factor were used for calculating repeatabilities, standard errors, 95% confidence intervals (CIs) and P-values. Latency to prey attack and swimming activity were log-transformed to achieve normality.
