SCIoI scientists discover: Rapid color change in group-hunting striped marlin

Science of Intelligence researchers often carry out field research across animal species in order to further identify principles of intelligence from the animal kingdom.

This research project aims to investigate the little-known movement rules and decision-making processes of social predators that manipulate and herd prey groups. The goal is contributing to a deeper understanding of collective intelligence in biological systems.
In this video we show rapid color change in a social predator, the striped marlin, as groups of marlin attack schooling sardines. The results point towards two likely functions - providing a reliable signal for coordinating high-speed conspecific attacks, or as part of a visually deceptive hunting strategy that disrupts prey schooling behavior.
