Understanding how marine organisms will be affected by global change is of primary
importance to ensure ecosystem functioning and nature contributions to people. This study …

Simple Summary We used to think of brains as symmetrical, functioning in the same way on
the left and right sides, but we now know that this is not so. From the small brains of insects …

Predicted future CO2 levels have been found to alter sensory responses and behaviour of
marine fishes. Changes include increased boldness and activity, loss of behavioural …

One of the most commonly used behavioral endpoints measured in preclinical studies using
rodent models is thigmotaxis (or “wall-hugging”). Thigmotaxis is a well-validated index of …

Why do the left and right sides of the brain have different functions? Having a lateralized
brain, in which each hemisphere processes sensory inputs differently and carries out …

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 …

Hemispheric asymmetries play an important role in almost all cognitive functions. For more
than a century, they were considered to be uniquely human but now an increasing number …

Rising CO2 levels in the oceans are predicted to have serious consequences for many
marine taxa. Recent studies suggest that non-genetic parental effects may reduce the impact …

Studies of animal locomotion and movement largely assume that individuals are healthy and
performing to the best of their abilities in ways which are adapted to their survival. However …

Individual differences in cognitive abilities have been thoroughly investigated in humans
and to a lesser extent in other mammals. Despite the growing interest in studying cognition …
