There's a concept called the "minnow effect," which is interesting. I always thought that minnow is a very special fish, today I searched on the Internet to know that it turned out to be ordinary fish, generally river forks in blisters, when I was a child, I went down to the river to catch fish, often caught this fish, last year I went to a river pond with friends to fish, and the most caught was this fish.
The Internet expresses this kind of fish quite dazzlingly, there are many aliases, and some are exquisite: the fish and black catfish are actually from "Erya", the white minnow is from "Mao Shiji", the ginseng fish and meat striped fish are from "Erya Wing", and the minnow is from "Chinese Economic Zoology - Freshwater Fish", which says that this fish belongs to the animal kingdom, chordates, fishes, and cyprinids. Another fish is from the "Compendium of Materia Medica", saying that it is sweet, warm, non-toxic, into the intestines, stomach, heart meridian, has the function of warming the stomach and stopping cold diarrhea. It looks quite tall, in fact, it is what we often call white stripes, not big, less meat and more spines, not easy to clean up, can only be fried in oil.
Minnow is so famous because of the concept of "minnow effect". This concept comes from a study by a German zoologist Khost, which shows that minnows are not only found in China, but also in many parts of the world, belonging to the global fish. The result of the biologist's research is that minnows live in groups because they are weak, and they are led by strong ones, and wherever the leader swims, the fish follow. The biologist got the inspiration out of nowhere to remove the nerves that control behavior in the back of the head of a minnow. After the removal, the minnow leader lost his self-control, his behavior became severely disordered, and he ran around. At this point, something interesting happened, the other minnows still followed their leader as closely as before, and the whole school of fish began to jump around. Therefore, this Mr. Horst gave this phenomenon a very scientific name - the minnow effect.
According to the researchers, this is because minnow populations use collective strength to sustain populations. Contemporary Biology reports that two sets of genes in minnows determine their behavior. One set of genes controls the habits of fish joining larger groups, and the other set of genes determines how good a fish is at swimming in a school formation. In this way, behavioral habits and physical abilities combine to produce the dizzying queue shifts of fish that help them avoid or defend themselves against predators. "By coming together, the fish feel the world in different ways", and even if the leader of the fish has no brain, the fish will still follow. Of course, this result will naturally not be good, a school of fish following a brainless fish around is obviously a brainless fish.
There are many interpretations of the minnow effect on the Internet, the most of which is the enlightenment of the minnow effect that I felt in the workplace: First, the tragedy of subordinates is always caused by the leader. The second is that the most boring thing for subordinates is that they follow a leader who is the worst.
This perception is also not right. That's right: it's a tragedy, it's a terrible thing. What's not right: a school of minnows chase a brainless fish precisely because they are minnows, not some other fish.
The most ridiculous thing is the German biologist Horst, who is the initiator of the minnow effect, if he does not remove the leader's brain nerves, how can there be a tragedy of a group of brainless fish?
Being a brainless minnow is actually very happy, it is a minnow, and there will be a lot of troubles with a long brain.
