a. What kind of glass was used for the partition between the triplet and the predator? This is explicitly stated for the field experiment (spectrally neutral Evotron Plexiglas), but we were wondering if the same glass was used in the laboratory experiments?
b. What is the purpose of the “sub-optimal substrate” strip of gravel along the long side of the tank and why is it not included in the schematic drawing of the setup?
c. In lines 200-201, the authors state, “Both stimuli were simultaneously present in the tank, but only one was visible to the triplefins.” Here we would like to know how they prevented visibility of one stimulus and suggest that the spatial relationship be stated or illustrated more clearly.
