Figure 3. Foraging differences between ‘asocial-bold’ and ‘social-shy’ cane toads.

Comparisons between ‘asocial-bold’ and ‘social-shy’ toads (classified based upon their responses to social cues in prior field trials) in terms of their foraging behaviour in standardized contests in the laboratory. When only a single cricket was available, the bolder individual was more likely to obtain that item (upper panel), but when multiple prey items (crickets) were available, shy toads ate more than bold toads (lower panel). The graphs show mean values and associated standard errors.
