Antidepressant exposure reduces body size, increases fecundity and alters social behavior in the short-lived killifish Nothobranchius furzeri
(Elsevier, 2020)Social and mating behavior are fundamental fitness determinants in fish. Although fish are increasingly exposed to pharmaceutical compounds that may alter expression of such behavior, potential effects are understudied. ... -
Improving the reliability and ecological validity of pharmaceutical risk assessment: Turquoise killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri) as a model in behavioral ecotoxicology
(Wiley, 2019)Pharmaceuticals are essential for human well-being, but their increasing and continuous use pollutes the environment. Although behavioral ecotoxicology is increasingly advocated to assess the effects of pharmaceutical ... -
Individual behavioral variation reflects personality divergence in the upcoming model organism Nothobranchius furzeri
(Wiley, 2018)In the animal kingdom, behavioral variation among individuals has often been reported. However, stable among‐individual differences along a behavioral continuum—reflective of personality variation—have only recently become ... -
Life stage dependent responses to desiccation risk in the annual killifish Nothobranchius wattersi
(Wiley, 2017)To assess whether the annual killifish Nothobranchius wattersi responds plastically to a desiccation risk and whether this response is life stage dependent, life-history traits such as maturation time, fecundity and life ... -
Population-, sex- and individual level divergence in life-history and activity patterns in an annual killifish
(PeerJ, 2019)Variation in life-history strategies along a slow-fast continuum is largely governed by life-history trade-offs. The pace-of-life syndrome hypothesis (POLS) expands on this idea and suggests coevolution of these traits ... -
Squeezing out the last egg: annual fish increase reproductive efforts in response to a predation threat
(Wiley, 2018)Both constitutive and inducible antipredator strategies are ubiquitous in nature and serve to maximize fitness under a predation threat. Inducible strategies may be favored over constitutive defenses depending on their ...
