Participants suggest that understanding these behaviors could influence marine ecology knowledge and conservation, emphasizing the significance of such findings in broader biological contexts.
Abstract in brief
Many animals, including the trumpetfish, use camouflage to avoid being noticed, but movement can make them detectable against their background.
Researchers found that trumpetfish engage in a behavior called 'shadowing', where they swim closely next to larger, non-predatory fish to hide their approach from prey.
This study shows how predators can cleverly use the presence of other animals to enhance their concealment and improve their chances of catching prey.
