The repeated adaptation of oceanic threespine sticklebacks to fresh water has made it a
premier organism to study parallel evolution. These small fish have multiple distinct …

Behavior is a complex phenotype that is plastic and evolutionarily labile. The advent of
genomics has revolutionized the field of behavioral genetics by providing tools to quantify …

Individual animals frequently exhibit repeatable differences from other members of their
population, differences now commonly referred to as 'animal personality'. Personality …

Background Stress and anxiety-related behaviors are seen in many organisms. Studies
have shown that in humans and other animals, treatment with selective serotonin reuptake …

Scientific reviews and studies continue to describe omics technologies as the next

Background The achievement of sustainable feeding practices in aquaculture by reducing
the reliance on wild-captured fish, via replacement of fish-based feed with plant-based feed …

Behaviour is a key interface between an animal's genome and its environment. Repeatable
individual differences in behaviour have been extensively documented in animals, but the …

Predation plays a fundamental role in evolutionary processes, driving changes in prey
morphology, physiology and behaviour. With organisms being increasingly exposed to rapid …

In many animals, including humans, interactions with caring parents can have long-lasting
effects on offspring sensitivity to stressors. However, whether these parental effects impact …

The three-spined stickleback is a small teleost fish, native to coastal regions of the Northern
Hemisphere, which has emerged as a key model organism in evolutionary biology and …
