Two-agent fish simulation shows size-based pecking order and unequal food sharing
tweetsatpreet · x · 2026-07-29
- In a 2-agent, 1-patch assay, size determines the interaction outcome: larger B displaces A, equal-sized agents jostle, and smaller B hesitates.
- Presence of A makes it easier for B to find the patch, and the resulting behavior forms a pecking order: larger fish bite and chase smaller fish more often.
- Across groups, greater size inequality correlates with greater inequality in food consumption.
