Article Abstract:
A test was conducted to see whether the females actively change their schooling behavior with conspecifics according to the presence of a harassing male. It was seen that the female schooling behavior was a flexible strategy and social aggregation in poecitiids was an important factor influenced by the male sexual harassment.
