This gives the fish a sense of security by attempting to scare off a predator. ]]> 2018-04-13 22:51:30 UTC https://padlet.com/gavin_352773/19oo1q5smk6c/wish/251743489 Subject (pic) gavin_352773 https://padlet.com/gavin_352773/19oo1q5smk6c/wish/251743575 A large school of fish. ]]> 2018-04-13 22:53:04 UTC https://padlet.com/gavin_352773/19oo1q5smk6c/wish/251743575 Adaptation gavin_352773 https://padlet.com/gavin_352773/19oo1q5smk6c/wish/251743592 It's possible that there may be that genetics play a role in their evolution to start schooling. During a study by Dr. Katie Peichel, "They do know that the freshwater version of the Eda gene 'lurks' in marine populations though, which could explain why these fish can so quickly adapt to new environments, Peichel said. If the marine sticklebacks find themselves suddenly stranded in fresh water, that hidden gene may allow some members of the group to survive." ]]> 2018-04-13 22:53:24 UTC https://padlet.com/gavin_352773/19oo1q5smk6c/wish/251743592 My Thoughts gavin_352773 https://padlet.com/gavin_352773/19oo1q5smk6c/wish/251743600 This is a very interesting way of surviving since it takes grouping to a new level. They not only do it to protect themselves, but also to protect everyone in the school. ]]> 2018-04-13 22:53:31 UTC https://padlet.com/gavin_352773/19oo1q5smk6c/wish/251743600 Source(s) gavin_352773 https://padlet.com/gavin_352773/19oo1q5smk6c/wish/251743605 1.)
