Coral reef fish rapidly learn to identify multiple unknown predators upon recruitment to the reef.
Organisms often undergo shifts in habitats as their requirements change with ontogeny.Upon entering a new environment, it is vitally important to be able to rapidly assess predation risk. Predation pressure should selectively promote mechanisms that enable the rapid identification of novel predators...
