Getting back to nature: feralization in animals and plants
Formerly domesticated organisms and artificially selected genes often escape controlled
cultivation, but their subsequent evolution is not well studied. In this review, we examine …

The pharmaceutical pollutant fluoxetine alters reproductive behaviour in a fish independent of predation risk
Pharmaceutical pollutants constitute a major threat to wildlife because of their capacity to
induce biological effects at low doses. One such pollutant is the antidepressant fluoxetine …

[PDF][PDF] In defense of the ecotourism shield: A response to Geffroy et al
Geffroy et al.[1] pose a bold scenario: nature tourists and ecotourists may create a 'human
shield'in some circumstances, but ultimately tourism habituates animals and makes them …

Sex Differences in Discrimination of Shoal Size in the Guppy (Poecilia reticulata)
For a diversity of species, differences in sexual and parental roles, along with differences in
body morphology, often result in males and females having different diets, distinct predators …

Do captive fish need cognitive enrichment? A test with a puzzle feeder in guppies
For many mammalian and avian species, it has been proposed that cognitive enrichment,
such as puzzle feeders, can improve welfare in captive conditions. A well‐established …

Effects of acclimatisation on behavioural repeatability in two behaviour assays of the guppy Poecilia reticulata
Establishing behavioural repeatability is important in animal personality research; however,
a range of factors can influence repeatability. Experimental design, particularly acclimation …
