Environmental enrichment decreases anxiety‐like behavior in zebrafish larvae
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Developmental Psychobiology"
DOI: 10.1002/dev.22255
Abstract: Abstract The development of anxiety disorders is often linked to individuals’ negative experience. In many animals, development of anxiety‐like behavior is modeled by manipulating individuals’ exposure to environmental enrichment. We investigated whether environmental enrichment during… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ece3.2728
Abstract: Abstract The trophic discrimination factor (TDF) of nitrogen isotopes (15N/14N) within amino acids, between a stream‐dwelling dobsonfly larva (Protohermes grandis: Megaloptera; Corydalidae) and its diet (chironomid larvae), was determined in controlled feeding experiments. Last‐instar larvae… read more here.

Behavioural effects of early‐life exposure to parabens in zebrafish larvae
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Journal of Applied Toxicology"
DOI: 10.1002/jat.4171
Abstract: Parabens are classified as endocrine disrupting chemicals due to their ability to activate several nuclear receptors causing changes in hormones‐dependent signalling pathways. Central nervous system of developing organisms is particularly vulnerable to changes in hormonal… read more here.
