The formation of social groups is an adaptive behaviour that can provide protection from
predators, improve foraging and facilitate social learning. However, the costs of proximity …

Adult zebrafish are robustly social animals whereas larva is not. We designed an assay to
determine at what stage of development zebrafish begin to interact with and prefer other fish …

Zebrafish are an established model organism in developmental and behavioral
neuroscience, also recently emerging as an excellent model to study social behavior …

The fitness benefits of social life depend on the ability of animals to affiliate with others and
form groups, on dominance hierarchies within groups that determine resource distribution …

Aggression is a key component of the behavioral repertoire of animals that impacts on their
Darwinian fitness. The available genetic tools in zebrafish make this species a promising …

Collective behaviors of groups of animals, such as schooling and shoaling of fish, are
central to species survival, but genes that regulate these activities are not known. Here we …

Agonistic interactions are present throughout the animal kingdom as well as in humans. In
this report, we present a model system to study neurological correlates of dominant …

We studied the social hierarchy in zebrafish and assessed differences in neurotransmitters
and behavior in the F1 generation offspring of dominant and subordinate zebrafish (Danio …

Aggression is a complex behavior that influences social relationships and can be seen as
adaptive or maladaptive depending on the context and intensity of expression. A model …

Deficits in social engagement are diagnostic of multiple neurodevelopmental disorders,
including autism and schizophrenia [1]. Genetically tractable animal models like zebrafish …
