Table 5 The descriptive statistic for the Q10 coefficient for the daily rate of change in task performance for the first foraging session, the first three of the foraging sessions and the first seven of the foraging sessions for the fish group (fish without experienced individuals and with experienced individuals) and different distances to the patch (Exp I - short, exp II - medium and exp III - long).

From: Elevated temperature enhances task performance by improving cognitive abilities in common rudd (Scardinius erythrophthalmus)
