N-3 long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFA), particularly docosahexaenoic acid
(22: 6n-3, DHA), are the most important fatty acids with physiological significance in brain …

Predator-prey interactions and, especially, the success of anti-predator responses are
modulated by the sensory channels of vision, olfaction, audition and mechanosensation. If …

Although calcium waves have been widely observed in glial cells, their occurrence in vivo
during behavior remains less understood. Here, we investigated the recruitment of glial cells …

One of the hallmarks of the collective movement of large schools of pelagic fish are waves of
shimmering flashes that propagate across the school, usually following an attack by a …

Predator-prey interactions and, especially, the success of anti-predator responses are
modulated by the sensory channels of vision, olfaction, audition and mechanosensation. If …

Fictive locomotion is frequently used to study locomotor output in paralyzed animals. We
have evaluated the character of swim episodes elicited by different strategies in zebrafish …

We review the use of complex physiological traits, of tolerance and performance, as
biomarkers of the toxicological effects of contaminants in subtropical and tropical freshwater …

An animal's nervous system recognizes visual features regardless of where the visual
feature is located. However, the underlying mechanisms that enable location invariant …

Competition for resources shapes ecological and evolutionary relationships. Physiological
capacities such as in locomotor performance can influence the fitness of individuals by …

Identifying the kinematic and behavioral variables of prey that influence evasion from
predator attacks remains challenging. To address this challenge, we have developed an …
