Most fishes experiencing challenging environments are able to adjust and adapt their
physiology and behaviour to help them cope more effectively. Much of this flexibility is …

The brain is a trait of central importance for organismal performance and fitness. To date,
evolutionary studies of brain size variation have mainly utilized comparative methods …

In social species animals should fine-tune the expression of their social behavior to social
environments in order to avoid the costs of engaging in costly social interactions. Therefore …

Behavior and physiology are regulated by both environment and social context. A central
goal in the study of the social control of behavior is to determine the underlying …

The ways in which challenging environments during development shape the brain and
behaviour are increasingly being addressed. To date, studies typically consider only single …

Teleost fish have a remarkable neurogenic and regenerative capacity in the adult
throughout the rostrocaudal axis of the brain. The distribution of proliferation zones shows a …

More complex brains and behaviors have arisen repeatedly throughout both vertebrate and
invertebrate evolution. The challenge is to tease apart the forces underlying such change. In …

In hatcheries, fish are normally reared in barren environments, which have been reported to
affect their phenotypic development compared with wild conspecifics. In this study, Atlantic …

Cognition and communication both can be essential for effectively navigating the social
environment and thus, social dynamics could select for enhanced abilities for …

During the last decade, there has been an increase in awareness of how anthropogenic
pollution can alter behavioural traits of diverse aquatic organisms. Apart from understanding …
