Antipredator benefits of schooling behaviour in a cyprinodontid fish, the banded killifish (Fundulus diaphanus)

Summary
Individual risk of being attacked and killed by a fish predator declined with increasing killifish school size in a manner closely predicted by the dilution hypothesis, and straying from a school has an associated increased risk of mortality to predation, which selects for schooling behaviour.
