“…By creating groups with consistent differences in individual behaviour, we can investigate the traits underlying the properties of shoals, and hence obtain insights into how specific group behaviours may evolve under selection (Ioannou, Guttal, & Couzin 2012). Guppies are a model species in the study of anti-predator shoaling behaviour (Farr, 1975;Dugatkin & Godin, 1992; van der Bijl, Thyselius, Kotrschal, & Kolm, 2015;Herbert-Read et al, 2017), known for fission-fusion dynamics and self-assortment according to sociability (Croft et al, 2005). We investigate the differences between these sorted groups' shoaling behaviours, to identify possible mechanisms for self-assortment.…”
