Endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) are ubiquitous in aquatic and terrestrial
environments. The main objective of this review was to summarize the current knowledge of …

All animals evaluate the salience of external stimuli and integrate them with internal
physiological information into adaptive behavior. Natural and sexual selection impinge on …

How consciousness appeared much earlier in evolutionary history than is commonly
assumed, and why all vertebrates and perhaps even some invertebrates are conscious …

Anthropogenic emissions of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere have generated rapid
variations in atmospheric composition which drives major climate changes. Climate change …

Reproductive Biology of Teleost Fishes is the first integrated review of the reproductive
biology of the bony fishes, which are the most species-rich and diversified group of …

Fish have been of paramount importance to our understanding of vertebrate comparative
neuroendocrinology and the mechanisms underlying the physiology and evolution of …

Tremendous progress has been made in our understanding of the ultimate and proximate
mechanisms underlying social behavior, yet an integrative evolutionary analysis of its …

The nonapeptide hormones arginine vasotocin and isotocin play important roles in
mediating social behaviors in fishes. Studies in a diverse range of species demonstrate …

Animals constantly integrate external stimuli with their own internal physiological state to
make appropriate behavioural decisions. Little is known, however, about where in the brain …

The ubiquitous use of ethinylestradiol (EE2), an active constituent of birth control
preparations, results in continuous release of this synthetic estrogen to surface waters. Many …
