Parasite management in aquaculture exerts selection on salmon louse behaviour
Evolutionary Applications, 2021 The evolution of pest resistance to management strategies is a major challenge for farmed systems. Mitigating the effects of pest adaptation requires identifying the selective pressures imposed by these strategies.

Urbanization alters courtship signals in male great bowerbirds [PDF]
Royal Society Open ScienceHumans have drastically altered the natural environment, impacting species that rely directly on natural resources to create signals to attract mates. Male great bowerbirds (Chlamydera nuchalis) construct bowers, which they decorate with coloured objects

The serotonin transporter gene and female personality variation in a free-living passerine
Scientific Reports, 2021 Quantifying variation in behaviour-related genes provides insight into the evolutionary potential of repeatable among-individual variation in behaviour (i.e. personality).

Similarity in Temporal Movement Patterns in Laying Hens Increases with Time and Social Association
Animals, 2022 We explored the relationship between social associations and individual activity patterns in domestic hens. Out of 1420 laying hens, 421 hens were equipped with RFID tags attached to RFID-specific leg bands (leg bands from Company Roxan, Selkirk ...

Behavioural Phenotypes and the Structure of Human Cognition [PDF]
Evolutionary Biology, 2016 Human cognitive uniqueness is often defined in terms of cognitive abilities such as introspection, imitation and cooperativeness. However, little is known about how those traits vary in populations or correlate across individuals. Here we test whether those three cognitive domains are correlated manifestations of an underlying factor, analogous to the ...

Significant determinants of mouse pain behaviour.
PLoS ONE, 2014 Transgenic mouse behavioural analysis has furthered our understanding of the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying damage sensing and pain. However, it is not unusual for conflicting data on the pain phenotypes of knockout mice to be generated by ...

Linking behavioural type with cannibalism in Eurasian perch.
PLoS ONE, 2021 The propensity to kill and consume conspecifics (cannibalism) varies greatly between and within species, but the underlying mechanisms behind this variation remain poorly understood.

Executive functioning in Cornelia de Lange syndrome: domain asynchrony and age-related performance
Journal of Neurodevelopmental Disorders, 2017 Background The aim of this study was to examine executive functioning in adolescents and adults with Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) to identify a syndrome and age-related profile of cognitive impairment.
