Description

Data collected from time laps recordings during time-place learning trials with juvenile lemon sharks. Data was collected in collaboration with the Bimini Biological Field Station. Sharks were kept in pairs in semi-captive environments. We hypothsised that sharks would learn a time-place association based on two distinct locations inside the holding pens and two distinct times of day when feedings were carried out.
