Data & code for - Predation selection impacts social information use in guppies (Poecilia reticulata)

Here we use artificial selection lines of Trinidadian guppies (Poecilia reticulata) that had been selected for predation survival for three generations (and control lines that were visually and olfactory exposed to predation but in a secured enclosure) to test how predation selects for social information use. Individuals observed a demonstrator on a screen solving a colour association task, correctly or incorrectly, before attempting the task themselves. We show that individuals from both treatments learned the task, but only animals from the control lines relied on the use of social information during the process, while animals from the predation lines prioritized private information.For details on the data files, please refer to the README file included in this archive.
