Behavioural arousal responses of guppies (Poecilia reticulata) were observed to repeated presentation of 2 seconds increased illumination at 30 second intervals. Habituation of responses occurred more rapidly in males than in females and habituation in females was related to their reproductive state. Exposure of gravid females for 8 days to a daily series of stimuli resulted in their young having enhanced habituation postnatally. The results are discussed in relation to developmental and possible hormonal influences on arousal and its habituation in fish.
观察到孔雀鱼(孔雀花鳉)对每隔30秒重复出现2秒光照增强的行为唤醒反应。雄性的反应比雌性更快出现习惯化,并且雌性的习惯化与其生殖状态有关。怀孕的雌性每天接受一系列刺激,持续8天,这导致它们的幼鱼在出生后习惯化增强。本文就发育以及可能的激素对鱼类唤醒及其习惯化的影响对结果进行了讨论。
