All plasticine creatures are predated equally

We examined the use of plasticine models to assess biotic interactions and found no significant differences in attack rates among models of various shapes, colors, and sizes. This suggests that animals may not effectively distinguish visually distinct models, indicating potential perceptual bias in such experimental design.

我们研究了橡皮泥模型（plasticine models）在评估生物相互作用（biotic interactions）中的应用，发现不同形状、颜色和大小的模型之间的攻击率无显著差异。这表明动物可能无法有效区分视觉上不同的模型，提示此类实验设计中存在潜在的感知偏差（perceptual bias）。
