It is widely acknowledged that the left and right hemispheres of human brains display both
anatomical and functional asymmetries. For more than a century, brain and behavioral …

The use of robotics to establish social interactions between animals and robots, represents
an elegant and innovative method to investigate animal behaviour. However, robots are still …

Behavioural lateralization, the asymmetric expression of cognitive functions, is reported to
enhance key fitness-relevant traits such as group coordination, multitasking and predator …

Abstract In Lake Malawi, two ecologically distinct lineages of cichlid fishes (rock‐vs sand‐
dwelling ecotypes, each comprised of over 200 species) evolved within the last million …

Temperature has profound effects on physiology of ectothermic animals. However, the
effects on temperature variation on behavioral traits are poorly studied in contrast to …

Displays are a feature of animal contest behaviour and have been interpreted as a means of
gathering information on opponent fighting ability, as well as signalling aggressive …

This chapter covers methods of measuring preferences to use one eye or ear to attend to a
stimulus, which reflects lateralized processing of sensory information. It begins with …

Abstract The Siamese fighting fish (Betta splendens) is well known as an aggressive fish
with unique spawning and parental care behavior. During reproduction, male fish construct …

Behavioural lateralization, which reflects the functional specializations of the two brain
hemispheres, is assumed to play an important role in cooperative intraspecific interactions …

Previous studies have shown that Siamese fighting fish, Betta splendens, preferentially use
right-eye during the aggressive displays. However, administration of antidepressant drugs …
