Chemosensory science, the study of how organisms produce and assess olfactory
information, is central to our understanding of how organisms interact and gain information …

Simple Summary Little is known about how microplastics impact animal cognition—the way
animals gather and process information. We investigated whether microplastic exposure …

In this study, we described immediate/acute reactions to stress-related chemical cues (SC–
Stress Cue) in fish. Specifically, we evaluated the effects of SC on ventilation rate (VR) and …

Simple Summary Population density is a prevalent environmental factor that influences
animal behavior, yet its impact on the formation of animal personality remains largely …

Heat alters biology from molecular to ecological levels, but may also have unknown indirect
effects. This includes the concept that animals exposed to abiotic stress can induce stress in …

We tested whether acute microplastic exposure impacts information gathering and
processing (cognition) in hermit crabs (Pagurus bernhardus). For five days, we kept 51 …

It is well established that aquatic animals inform their neighbours of predation risk through
chemical cues. In this thesis, I tested the hypothesis that stress propagation is a widespread …

Climate change and plastic pollution are both pressing environmental issues. Little is
known, however, about the combined effect of climate change conditions (such as global …
