当暴露在企鹅粪便中时 克里尔改变了它们的行为 有可能躲避捕食者 研究发现 Krill alter their behavior when exposed to penguin poop, potentially to evade predators, study finds.

研究者发现磷虾在接触企鹅大便、游泳速度更快和更加不规律以及食用较少的藻类时,会极大地改变他们的行为。 Researchers found that krill drastically change their behavior when exposed to penguin poop, swimming faster and more erratically and eating less algae. 这种反应可能帮助磷虾躲避企鹅、海豹和鲸鱼等捕食者。 This reaction may help krill evade predators like penguins, seals, and whales. 这项研究强调了南极生态系统中复杂的相互作用,并提出了如何使这种行为受到气候变化影响、影响南大洋关键物种的问题。 The study highlights the complex interactions in the Antarctic ecosystem and raises concerns about how such behaviors could be impacted by climate change, affecting the Southern Ocean's keystone species.
