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 …

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 …

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 …

Collective behaviours, such as flocking in birds or decision making by bee colonies, are
some of the most intriguing behavioural phenomena in the animal kingdom. The study of …

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 …

Humans interact with fishes in many contexts including aquaculture, scientific study and
companion animals. In all of these contexts, fish welfare can be compromised through …

Individuals of gregarious species often group with conspecifics to which they are
phenotypically similar. This among-group assortment has been studied for body size, sex …

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 …

Escape performance is fundamental for survival in fish and most other animals. While
previous work has shown that both intrinsic (eg size, shape) and extrinsic (eg temperature …

Elevated CO2 levels associated with ocean acidification (OA) have been shown to alter
behavioural responses in coral reef fishes. However, all studies to date have used stable p …
