Fish are one of the most highly utilised vertebrate taxa by humans; they are harvested from
wild stocks as part of global fishing industries, grown under intensive aquaculture …

the claim of consistent hemispheric specialisations across classes of chordates is
undermined by the absence of population-based directional asymmetry of paw/hand use in …

Increases in noise‐generating human activities since the Industrial Revolution have
changed the acoustic landscape of many terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. Anthropogenic …

Elevated carbon dioxide (CO2) has recently been shown to affect chemosensory and
auditory behaviour, and activity levels of larval reef fishes, increasing their risk of predation …

Once considered a uniquely human attribute, brain asymmetry has been proved to be
ubiquitous among non‐human animals. A synthetic review of evidence of animal …

Why do the left and right sides of the vertebrate brain play different functions? Having a
lateralized brain, in which each hemisphere carries out different functions, is ubiquitous …

Cerebral lateralization refers to the division of information processing in either hemisphere
of the brain and is a ubiquitous trait among vertebrates and invertebrates. Given its …

The study and protection of animal welfare are based on the assumption that animals are
sentient beings, capable of experiencing emotions. Still, our understanding of animal …

Past research on fish orientation and migration has tended to focus on genetically fixed
patterns of behaviour. However, in most aquatic environments, the physical landscape as …

Variable levels of predation pressure are known to have significant impacts on the
evolutionary ecology of different populations and can affect life-history traits, behavior, and …
