Declarations
:
: The experiment followed ASAB (2020) guidelines for the ethical treatment of animals in behavioral research and complied with Italian national and Piedmont regional laws. The permit to capture tadpoles was given by the Italian Ministry of Environment, Land and Sea (U.0031391–15.11.2019–PNM). During the experiment, 50% of water was changed daily, and food in excess was removed to optimize rearing conditions. Before video recording and measurement sessions, tadpoles were captured using hand nets and moved using water filled containers. At the end of the experiment, all tadpoles were returned to the ponds where they had been captured.
