Abstract

AbstractFunctional lateralization in directional preference for predator evasion was examined in 45 Pointed‐belly frogs (Leptodactylus podicipinus). T‐maze trials revealed a preference for rightward escape, though individual bias was minimal, at only 33%, to evade predictability. Sex and size didn't influence escape decisions, aligning with predator avoidance strategies.Abstract in Portuguese is available with online material.
