With global surface air temperature rising rapidly, extensive research effort has been
dedicated to assessing the consequences of this change for wildlife. While impacts on the …

Highlights•The ecological approach to cognitionaims at understanding within and between
species differences in cognitive performance.•It is key to understand individual and species' …

Animal species, including humans, display patterns of individual variability in cognition that
are difficult to explain. For instance, some individuals perform well in certain cognitive tasks …

When an individual ascends in dominance status within their social community, they often
undergo a suite of behavioural, physiological and neuromolecular changes. While these …

Teleosts display the highest level of brain plasticity of all vertebrates. Yet we still know little
about how seasonality affects fish behaviour and the underlying cognitive mechanisms …

Day length in conjunction with seasonal cycles affects many aspects of animal biology. We
have studied photoperiod-dependent alterations of complex behavior in the teleost, medaka …

A large body of research has been dedicated to understanding the factors that modulate
spatial cognition and attributes of the hippocampus, a highly plastic brain region that …

Growing evidence reveals notable phenotypic plasticity in cognition among teleost fishes.
One compelling example is the positive impact of enriched environments on learning …

Over recent decades, substantial research has focused on fish cognitive evolution to
increase our understanding of the evolution of the enormous diversity of cognitive abilities …

Sexual dimorphism is often mediated by tissue-specific, differential gene expression, but the
mechanisms that regulate these gene expression patterns are not well understood. Here, we …
