| Abstract: | Synopsis
Brachygobius sabanus move less often and spend less time swimming when they detect chemicals released from injured conspecifics. This resembles the alarm response found in ostariophysan fishes, darters, and at least one other gobiid. Chemicals from injured Poecilia reticulata do not induce an alarm response in B. sabanus. |
