Reading question
This is a part of reading text.
"Although it is intuitively clear that an increase in antipredator behavior lowers an animal's risk of predation when predators are present, such benefits are not easily demonstrated. One study that (1)did so found that well-fed guppies are more alert for predators and are consequently less likely to be killed than are their hungry counterparts,(2)which feed with greater intensity."
Those two underlined parts are what I'm struggling with.
First, which part is referred to by "did so" in the text?
Second,which entity is related to the relative clause? Is it "their hungry counterparts" or the previous sentence?
